To learn more, visit the [Instructor Guide](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Instructor/ct-p/canvas_instructor).

## Introduction

**What is Canvas?**

Canvas is a Learning Management System. To learn more about Canvas terminology and definitions, visit [How does Canvas define the terms used to describe its features and functions? ](https://community.canvaslms.com/m/67952/l/720334-how-does-canvas-define-the-terms-used-to-describe-its-features-and-functions)

Because Canvas is a web-based system, it doesn’t need to be installed on your computer. However, you’ll want to make sure that your [computer and web browser meet the basic requirements to run Canvas](https://community.canvaslms.com/m/67952/l/720329-what-are-the-browser-and-computer-requirements-for-instructure-products).

**What is the Instructor/Teacher role?**

In Canvas, the [Teacher role](https://community.canvaslms.com/m/67952/l/830768-what-is-the-teacher-role) is used to enroll users responsible for course creation, instruction, and management. Teachers are also referred to as instructors in Canvas. In general, users with the Teacher role have permissions that allow them to moderate a course, view course data, and direct daily course communications. However, these permissions may vary among institutions.

**Canvas for Elementary**

[Canvas for Elementary](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-for-Elementary-Basics/What-is-Canvas-for-Elementary/ta-p/496844) is a Canvas setting that displays a simplified interface and experience designed for young learners. Your institution may have this enabled for your course(s).

# How do I add an announcement in a course?

You can create an announcement to share important information with all users within your course and with users in sections of a course. In your [notification preferences](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-manage-my-Canvas-notification-settings/ta-p/615326), you can choose to receive notifications for announcements created by you as well as replies to announcements you've created.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-your-course-must-be-"><div>- Your course must be published for students to receive announcement notifications. If you import an announcement from another Canvas course, new announcement notifications will not send to course users.
- If an announcement is created before the course start date and the Students can only participate in the course between these dates setting is enabled, students will not receive announcement notifications.
- Notifications are not sent for announcements created before the course has been published.
- Student app users cannot view announcements on the homepage. However, they can view announcements in the course's Announcements navigation.
- Notifications for Announcements set with a future date and time will be sent out based on the Available From date and time as well as the individual user's [Notification Settings](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-manage-my-Canvas-notification-settings/ta-p/615326) for Announcement Notifications.

# How do I manage my Canvas notification settings?

Canvas includes a set of default notification settings you can receive for your courses. However, you can change the default settings by setting your own notification settings. These settings only apply to you; they are not used to control how course updates are sent to other users. To learn more about each notification, default settings, and notification triggers, view the [Canvas Notifications resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Notifications/ta-p/387041).

Notifications are sent as one of four delivery types:

<div id="bkmrk-notify-immediately-d"><div><div>- Notify immediately
- Daily summary
- Weekly summary
- Notifications off

</div></div></div>If you change a setting, the change is made immediately to your account.

Notification settings apply to all of your courses unless you [set notification settings for individual courses](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-manage-notifications-for-a-single-course/ta-p/615325).

You may be able to reply directly to email notifications outside of Canvas. Replies are updated in the Canvas [Inbox](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Inbox/ta-p/55). However, attachments added as part of an external reply are not included with the message shown in Canvas.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-canvas-sends-notific"><div>- Canvas sends notifications using your confirmed contact methods. You cannot receive notifications if your contact methods are unconfirmed. If you are not receiving Canvas notifications, please [confirm your Canvas contact methods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-add-contact-methods-to-receive-Canvas-notifications/ta-p/615331).
- You can also manage notifications settings in the Canvas Student app [on an Android device](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Student-Android-Guide/How-do-I-set-Notification-Preferences-in-the-Student-app-on-my/ta-p/1848) or [on an iOS device](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Student-iOS-Guide/How-do-I-set-Notification-Preferences-in-the-Student-app-on-my/ta-p/1928). However, managing settings inside the app will override settings in the browser version of Canvas.
- You may be able to select notification settings for an individual course. Learn more about [managing notifications for a single course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-manage-notifications-for-a-single-course/ta-p/615325).
- Some notifications may not apply to the observer role. To learn more about each notification, default settings, and notification triggers, view the [Canvas Notifications resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Notifications/ta-p/387041).

There are three types of graphs: Activity by Date, Submissions, and Grades.

### View Activity by Date

The x-axis represents the course dates, while the y-axis represents the number of page views. Dark blue bars represent participation in the course. If a date only includes page views, the bar only displays as light blue.

The graph changes the bar display according to the length of time. Activity that is less than six months old displays bars as daily activity, at six months bars are displayed as weekly activity, and at approximately a year bars are displayed as monthly activity. Browser window size, zoom level, and screen resolution may also change how the bars display.

To view the details of the bar graph, hover over the specific bar you want to view. The weekly view shows the first and last date for the week; the monthly view shows the month and the year.

The following user actions will generate analytics course participation:

# How do I view New Analytics in a course as an instructor?

You can view analytics in both active and concluded courses. Only active and completed student enrollments are included in the data for New Analytics. Deleted or inactive user enrollments will not generate data.

Available analytics include course grade, weekly online activity, and communication. By default, the analytics page displays an interactive chart graph of all data. However, you can view data within a table at any time. Student analytics show you how well a particular student is doing in your course.

[Learn more about New Analytics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-New-Analytics/ta-p/73).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 8 hours. Please confirm the time data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.
- Because mobile page view data is based on device settings and network connection, it may vary from the time the page views actually occurred. Page view data should not be used to assess academic integrity.
- Weekly Online Activity displays in a Monday-Sunday format.

# How do I use the Roll Call Attendance tool in a course?

After the Attendance tool has been enabled for your course, you can configure the attendance tool to meet the needs of your students. However, some items cannot be configured until after your course is published and students have accepted the course invitation.

**Note**: The Attendance tool must be enabled by your Canvas admin before it can be used in your course. If you cannot see the Attendance link in Course Navigation, please contact your administrator.

If you want to change the value of Attendance in your course, or if you want to remove Attendance from the Gradebook completely, currently you must take roll call for at least one student before you can make any changes in Roll Call. Learn more about how to [change the value of Roll Call Attendance](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-edit-the-Roll-Call-Attendance-assignment/ta-p/569).

# How do I edit the Roll Call Attendance assignment?

After the first time you take roll call, Canvas automatically creates an assignment for Roll Call Attendance and adds a column to the Gradebook. By default, attendance is worth 100 points.

To avoid Attendance calculation errors, you should not delete, rename, or unpublish the Attendance assignment. If the Attendance assignment is deleted, the Roll Call tool will not be able to take attendance. Canvas will automatically create a new Attendance assignment within 15 minutes after a failed attendance attempt due to a deleted Attendance assignment.

Instructors can edit several components of the Roll Call Attendance assignment:

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-are-using-wei"><div><div>- If you are using weighted assignment groups, you can create a new weighted assignment group and move the attendance assignment into that group.
- You can edit the assignment and change the point value.
- You can remove Attendance from the Gradebook completely by changing the assignment type.

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-attendance-assig"><div>- The Attendance assignment will not appear until you have taken roll for at least one student.

</div></div>## Create Weighted Assignment Group

<div data-step-uuid="0c6c59c2-d5a9-4a83-a871-ebf8f2842b3d" id="bkmrk-"><div data-step-uuid="0c6c59c2-d5a9-4a83-a871-ebf8f2842b3d"><div>![Create Weighted Assignment Group](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/183/422/original/fd2c7f39-5217-4fb5-a0a5-a0587f936d70.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>If you are using [weighted assignment groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-weight-the-final-course-grade-based-on-assignment/ta-p/746) and would rather set grade weighting for attendance, you can create a new weighted assignment group for Attendance. You can drag and drop the Roll Call Attendance assignment by clicking and grabbing the handle icon.

**Note:** You can also move the assignment by editing the assignment, locating the Assignment Group menu, selecting the name of the assignment group, and saving the assignment.

### Edit and Save Percentage Value

<div data-step-uuid="0c6c59c2-d5a9-4a83-a871-ebf8f2842b3d" id="bkmrk--0"><div data-step-uuid="0c6c59c2-d5a9-4a83-a871-ebf8f2842b3d"><div data-step-uuid="fa10b11e-188e-4eb4-b9bc-e75b2c530784"><div>![Edit and Save Percentage Value](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/048/174/original/cf6f4988-8fb9-46e5-bd66-da5d1744d88c.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>In Assignment Settings, click the weight final grade checkbox \[1\]. Set the group percentage value to your preferred percentage value (zero up to 100) \[2\], then click the **Save** button \[3\].

Make sure the Attendance assignment is moved into the Roll Call assignment group.

The percentage value you set for the group will control the point value assigned to the Attendance assignment, despite the assigned point value.

**Note:** If you want to set the percentage value as zero, the point value for the assignment must be higher than zero. Canvas cannot calculate weighted assignment groups with zero points possible.

## Change Point Value

<div data-step-uuid="37f24eb4-6ce6-4bcf-aa1a-9ef66360be0f" id="bkmrk--1"><div data-step-uuid="37f24eb4-6ce6-4bcf-aa1a-9ef66360be0f"><div>![Change Point Value](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/786/679/original/e660130b-cdbc-4312-970f-23450dc8c84d.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>If you are not using weighted assignment groups and just want to edit the points assigned for Attendance, you can edit the point value in the assignment. However, this adjustment is only recommended if (1) you are never going to change the point value again *and* (2) you make the adjustment after your first roll call entry.

To change the point value for the assignment, edit the assignment, then in the points field \[1\], enter the new point value for attendance. At the bottom of the window, click the **Save** button \[2\].

**Note:** The Attendance assignment will not appear until you have taken roll for at least one student.

### Edit Roll Call

<div data-step-uuid="37f24eb4-6ce6-4bcf-aa1a-9ef66360be0f" id="bkmrk--2"><div data-step-uuid="37f24eb4-6ce6-4bcf-aa1a-9ef66360be0f"><div data-step-uuid="54484f89-b54d-43c3-b50c-685229a7e88a"><div>![Edit Roll Call](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/570/483/original/0bca757a-47db-492c-b655-0a0d03b9c347.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>The Gradebook doesn't currently adjust point value changes accurately after point values have been changed, and the percentage values in the SpeedGrader and the Gradebook will be incorrect.

Return to roll call, click the **Unmark All** button, and then take attendance for all students as normal. The percentage value will then adjust correctly in both SpeedGrader and the Gradebook. If you make this change immediately after the first time you take roll in your course and edit the point value, you only have to adjust your work once.

## Remove from Gradebook

<div data-step-uuid="8e36de7d-4850-4194-80bb-0cbd826bbe6d" id="bkmrk--3"><div data-step-uuid="8e36de7d-4850-4194-80bb-0cbd826bbe6d"><div>![Remove from Gradebook](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/048/173/original/22069bb6-973d-46b8-b238-073d403fc181.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>If you do not want Attendance to appear in the Gradebook as a graded assignment, you can edit the Attendance assignment and change the assignment type. Students can still view the assignment but it will not appear in their grades.

To remove the assignment from the Gradebook, edit the attendance assignment, then in the Display Grade as menu \[1\], select the Not Graded option. At the bottom of the window, click the **Save** button \[2\].

**Note:** Once you have changed the assignment type, you cannot change it back to a graded assignment. *Please ensure you do not want to grade Attendance before changing the assignment type.*

## Exclude from Final Grade

<div data-step-uuid="11e308cc-57db-4f7e-9280-82aae85d78a5" id="bkmrk--4"><div data-step-uuid="11e308cc-57db-4f7e-9280-82aae85d78a5"><div>![Exclude from Final Grade](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/593/942/original/792349f2-c4fc-4499-8c02-4d2336474e73.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>If you do not want the Roll Call Attendance assignment to be calculated in the final grade, you can choose to exclude the assignment from final grade calculations.

You can manage this setting in attendance assignment settings and in Roll Call settings. *However, it's recommended to manage this setting in* [*Roll Call Settings*](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Roll-Call-Attendance-tool-in-a-course/ta-p/1003)*.*

# How do I use Roll Call Attendance badges in a course?

Once you have [configured the Attendance tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Roll-Call-Attendance-tool-in-a-course/ta-p/1003), Roll Call Badges are a versatile way to make quick notations about your students using the Roll Call attendance tool. For example, you can quickly mark when a student is disruptive or actively participating in the class so that you have a record of that student's activities.

You can add and manage any course-level attendance badges in any student's attendance information profile. New badges are always available to all students and will not/cannot be created for individual students. Badges may be created, however, that are only applicable in certain circumstances such as "Absent due to death in family" or "Absent due to school-sanctioned activity."

Canvas admins have the right to delete any course-level badges that may be considered inappropriate.

**Note:** Roll Call Attendance Badges are not visible to students.

# How do I run Roll Call Attendance reports in a course?

You can run reports to review attendance data for your students. This report is sent to your email, where it can be downloaded as a comma separated value (CSV) file.

Reports are delivered in a CSV format and display all content in a list. Reports always include the following data fields: Course ID, SIS Course ID, Course Code, Course Name, Teacher ID, Teacher Name, Student ID, Student Name, Class Date, Attendance, and Timestamp.

Roll Call Attendance Badges are included in course reports if they were created at the most immediate account or sub-account level and have been assigned to students. If the course belongs to a sub-account, only badges created at the sub-account level will appear in reports. If the course does not belong to a sub-account, only badges created at the account level will appear in reports. Additionally, the badges will also only be included if they were set within the time frame you specify in the report.

You can generate reports for the entire course or a specific student. To locate a student or course ID, view the People page. The student SIS ID will be listed in the table. The course ID will be in the browser URL (e.g. courses/XXXXXX/users/XXX).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-you-can-narrow-large"><div>- You can narrow large results within a CSV report using the Data group Filter button.
- The Student ID and SIS ID are not the same and hold different values.

# How do I copy a Canvas course into a new course shell?

If you are allowed to create Canvas courses, you can copy a course and create a new course shell. Copied courses are added to the same subaccount as the course that is copied.

Courses should be copied when you want to use or repurpose previously created content including course settings, syllabus, assignments, modules, files, pages, discussions, quizzes, and question banks. You can also copy or adjust events and due dates as well as bulk migrate quizzes from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes. You can also copy or adjust events and due dates. Not all content can be copied as part of a course.

When you copy a Canvas course using the Copy this Course button, you will be added to the course as an instructor automatically.

[Learn more about the Course Import Tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Course-Import-Tool/ta-p/21).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-course-imports-may-n"><div>- Course imports may not include all content. For more details, please see the [import content section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Course-Import-Tool/ta-p/21) in the Canvas Basics Guide.
- Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.
- If the Copy this Course button does not appear in Course Settings, this feature has been restricted by your institution. However, if you already have access to a course shell, you can [copy a course through the Course Import Tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012).
- Copies of existing Canvas courses and course files reference the original Canvas course file quota and do not count against course file quotas.

# How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool?

You can copy course content such as assignments, modules, pages, and discussions from previous Canvas courses into existing courses. You can also bulk migrate quizzes from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes.

You can only copy content from courses in which you are enrolled as a user whose role has the [Manage Course Content permission of Course Content - Add ](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Course-Role-Permissions/ta-p/387080#:~:text=cannot%20be%20unpublished.-,Course%20Content%20%2D%20add,-Default%20Role%20Status)enabled.

The Import Course Content option allows you to copy content into existing courses. You may be able to [copy content into a new course shell](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-a-Canvas-course-into-a-new-course-shell/ta-p/712).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-course-imports-may-n"><div>- Course imports may not include all content. For more details, please see the [import content section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Course-Import-Tool/ta-p/21) in the Canvas Basics Guide.
- Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.
- If you copy all content or include course settings in selected content, the grade posting policy from the original course will override the grade posting policy in the new course. The participation dates from the original course will override the participation dates in the new course. Additionally, imported assignments will retain their assignment posting policy and participation dates from the original course.
- When a course is copied that includes a new quiz with an item bank, the item bank is shared with the new course automatically.
- To prevent 0s (zero grades) from being automatically entered into the Gradebook when importing content into a course with a late/missing policy set up, it is recommended that you temporarily disable your late/missing policy before importing the content. You can re-enable it once the import is complete.

# How do I import a Canvas course export package?

If you have a Canvas course export package from someone else that you want to use in Canvas, or you have previously [exported a course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-export-a-Canvas-course/ta-p/785), you can import the course as a Canvas course export package. An export package is imported as an IMSCC file.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-imported-into-a"><div>- When imported into a course, course exports have the same limitations as course imports. For more details, learn more about the [Course Import Tool.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Course-Import-Tool/ta-p/21)
- When importing a Canvas course export package, the package will overwrite some of the existing course settings. For example, if your destination course is set up with a private copyright, and you import a package that has a creative commons (CC) copyright, the copyright license in the destination course will change from Private to CC. Please review the course setting after any course import to make sure important settings are still in place.
- You cannot modify an existing quiz by importing a modified version. Imports can only be used when creating a quiz for the first time. If you import the same quiz multiple times, previously imported quizzes will not be overwritten, It will produce multiple copies of the same quiz.
- Courses are allotted a specific file size limit for file storage. Your course export package file size must be smaller than the quota for your course as shown in [course statistics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-course-statistics/ta-p/1120). If you do not have enough storage space in your course to import the export package, please contact your Canvas administrator.
- Instructors will need to manually subscribe to or enable notifications for discussions and announcements after importing them into a new course.

- After migration to New Quizzes, multiple dropdown questions display as matching questions.
- Text No Question questions migrate to New Quizzes as Stimulus questions. An instructor must add a question in order for it to display in a quiz.
- Question groups with manually created questions will migrate as item banks in New Quizzes.
- If a quiz is migrated multiple times, Canvas uses smart merging to decipher the question bank content that should be retained. This process helps ensure all content is retained, such as in cases where multiple users may be making edits to a quiz at the same time.
- Practice quizzes from Classic Quizzes can be migrated to New Quizzes. Once migrated, by default, the practice quizzes are displayed as zero points possible and are hidden from the Gradebook and Grades page.

# How do I view New Analytics for a student in a course?

Student analytics show you how well a particular student is doing in your course. You can view analytics in both active and concluded courses. Only active and completed student enrollments are included in data for New Analytics. Deleted or inactive user enrollments will not generate data.

Available analytics include course grade, weekly online activity, and communication. By default, the analytics page displays an interactive chart graph of all data. However, you can view data within a table at any time.

[Learn more about New Analytics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-New-Analytics/ta-p/73).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.
- Because mobile page view data is based on device settings and network connection, it may vary from the time the page views actually occurred. Page view data should not be used to assess academic integrity.
- Weekly Online Activity displays in a Monday-Sunday format.

However, as part of the Course Analytics offering, a history of inbox messages sent between students and instructors is included so that it can be viewed alongside participation metrics.

# How do I view analytics for a student in a course?

Student analytics show you how well a particular student is doing in your course. You can also view student analytics after your course has concluded.

Your institution may allow students to view their own course analytics, which helps show them accurate information about their course activity and interactions. If this permission is enabled, your view and the student's view of their analytics is the same.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-analytics-featur"><div>- The Analytics features displayed in this lesson will be removed in a future release and will be replaced by New Analytics. View more information on [using New Analytics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-New-Analytics-in-a-course-as-an-instructor/ta-p/801).
- Viewing analytics is a course permission. If you cannot view analytics, your institution has restricted this feature.
- Analytics can also be accessed through the People page and viewing a student's [user details](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-user-details-for-an-enrollment-in-a-course/ta-p/1216) page.

These are four types of graphs: Activity by Date, Communication, Submissions, and Grades.

### View Activity by Date

<div data-step-uuid="a406da93-e600-4702-b2d4-bc02b1cabcec" id="bkmrk--4"><div data-step-uuid="a406da93-e600-4702-b2d4-bc02b1cabcec"><div data-step-uuid="80e2b451-6d7e-4b56-948e-928a1f43a25f"><div>[![View Activity by Date](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/784/600/medium/0bf63ddb-7874-47a7-a811-adae7a5cd307.png)](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/784/600/original/0bf63ddb-7874-47a7-a811-adae7a5cd307.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>The Activity by Date graph shows all course activity for the student. The x-axis represents the course dates, while the y-axis represents the number of page views. Dark blue bars represent participation in the course. If a date only includes page views, the bar only displays as light blue.

The graph changes the bar display according to the length of time. Activity that is less than six months old displays bars as daily activity, at six months bars are displayed as weekly activity, and at approximately a year bars are displayed as monthly activity. To view the details of the bar graph, hover over the specific bar you want to view. The weekly view shows the first and last date for the week; the monthly view shows the month and the year. Browser window size, zoom level, and screen resolution may also change how the bars display.

The following user actions will generate analytics course participation:

<div data-step-uuid="a406da93-e600-4702-b2d4-bc02b1cabcec" id="bkmrk-loads-a-collaboratio"><div data-step-uuid="a406da93-e600-4702-b2d4-bc02b1cabcec"><div data-step-uuid="80e2b451-6d7e-4b56-948e-928a1f43a25f"><div><div>- loads a collaboration to view/edit the document
- joins a web conference
- posts a new comment to a discussion or an announcement
- submits a quiz
- starts taking a quiz
- submits an assignment
- creates a wiki page

</div></div></div></div></div>You can also view specific content participation data in the [course access report](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-course-access-report-for-an-individual-user/ta-p/754).

### View Communication

<div data-step-uuid="a406da93-e600-4702-b2d4-bc02b1cabcec" id="bkmrk--5"><div data-step-uuid="a406da93-e600-4702-b2d4-bc02b1cabcec"><div data-step-uuid="c4bc4a26-a7a9-40f6-9e6b-3c403d0df55d"><div>[![View Communication](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/784/611/medium/3dc9ca5e-b9b0-4b07-bb37-07d42abddbce.png)](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/784/611/original/3dc9ca5e-b9b0-4b07-bb37-07d42abddbce.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>The Communication graph shows the conversations that have taken place between the student and instructor(s) in the Canvas Inbox. The y-axis represents the user type; orange message icons show when a student sent a message to an instructor, and blue message icons show when an instructor sent a message to the student. The x-axis represents the interaction date.

To view the details of the bar graph, hover over the specific bar you want to view. You can view the date of the communication and how many messages were sent. A message is an individual message passed from one user to the other; in message threads, each message is individually counted. In group conversations, interactions are counted as long as the student is one of the recipients. Notifications are not included in analytics unless the user acts on the notification and generates a new message that passes through the Canvas Inbox. Announcements are not included in communication analytics.

You can also view specific communication data in the [student interactions report](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-my-course-interactions-with-an-individual-student/ta-p/755).

### View Submissions

<div data-step-uuid="a406da93-e600-4702-b2d4-bc02b1cabcec" id="bkmrk--6"><div data-step-uuid="a406da93-e600-4702-b2d4-bc02b1cabcec"><div data-step-uuid="e96dae3c-67a8-4bc5-8db6-5a527469a7fa"><div>![View Submissions](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/784/623/original/fa619691-03b5-4b7f-b8b4-7d9c6f366fac.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>The Submissions graph shows the status of each submission for the student. The y-axis represents each assignment, while the x-axis represents the submission date. A green circle indicates an assignment that was submitted on time. A yellow triangle indicates an assignment that was submitted late. A red square indicates an assignment that is missing (not submitted). A white circle with a black outline indicates an assignment with a future due date.

If a submission includes a due date, the submission may include horizontal line. The line indicates when the assignment was submitted, while the shape indicates the actual due date. If a submission was submitted before the due date, the horizontal line is green; if it was submitted after the due date, the horizontal line is yellow. Submissions without a horizontal line either have no due date, or the assignment was submitted on the due date.

To view the details of the bar graph, hover over the specific bar you want to view. Current and past assignments include the assignment title, the due date (if any), the submission date, and the score. Future assignments include the assignment title, due date (if any), and the score.

**Note**: The Submissions chart does not include information about assignments that do not require a submission (e.g., not graded, on paper assignments), excused assignments, or assignments that do not apply to a student because of differentiated assignments.

### View Grades

The x-axis represents each assignment, while the y-axis represents the number of points for an assignment. The vertical black line extends from the highest score to the lowest score \[1\]. The gray box extends from the 75th percentile to 25th percentile \[2\]. The horizontal black line shows the median score for the assignment \[3\].

The student's score is indicated by the same shapes found in the Submissions graph. A green circle indicates an assignment with a good score. A good score is equal to or greater than the median score. A yellow triangle indicates an assignment with a fair score. A fair score is below the median but still within the 75th to 25th percentile range. A red square indicates an assignment with a poor score. A poor score is below the 25th percentile.

To view assignment names and details, hover your cursor over the graph \[4\].

# How do I edit an announcement in a course?

If you forgot to add something to your announcement, you can easily edit and add more information.

**Notes:**

# How do I view average course grade analytics in an interactive chart graph in New Analytics?

New Analytics allows you to track average course grades for student submissions using an interactive chart graph. Data is for viewing only and cannot directly be changed. You can view analytics in both active and concluded courses.

The average course grade is the average of all student totals from the Gradebook. Course analytics will show you student activity, assignment submissions, grades, and student names. Page views and participation metrics include an aggregate across all devices, including Canvas mobile apps.

Only active and completed student enrollments are included in data for New Analytics. Deleted or inactive user enrollments will not generate data.

By default, the analytics page displays an interactive chart graph of all data. However, you can switch and [view data within a table](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-average-course-grade-analytics-in-a-data-table-in/ta-p/1199) at any time.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time the data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.

# How do I view average course grade analytics in a data table in New Analytics?

By default, the analytics page displays an [interactive analytics chart graph](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-average-course-grade-analytics-in-an-interactive/ta-p/1193) of all course grade data. However, you can choose to view analytics data as a table by percentage. Data is for viewing only and cannot directly be changed. You can view analytics in both active and concluded courses.

New Analytics allows you to track an average course grade for student submissions. The average course grade is the average of all student totals from the Gradebook. Course analytics will show you student activity, assignment submissions, grades, and student names. Page views and participation metrics include an aggregate across all devices, including Canvas mobile apps.

Only active student enrollments are included in data for New Analytics.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time the data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.

# How do I allow or disallow announcement replies in a course?

When you create an announcement, you can allow comments on that announcement by selecting the Allow Participants to Comment checkbox in the announcement options. Additionally, if an announcement allows users to comment, you can require students to reply to the announcement before seeing other replies.

You can also allow or disallow comments after an announcement is posted.

**Note:** If the Allow Participants to Comment checkbox does not display or does not remain checked, allowing comments on announcements may be [disabled for the entire course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-disable-announcement-replies-for-an-entire-course/ta-p/904) in Course Settings. Additionally, if the option to manage comments on announcements is unavailable in Course Settings, it may have been locked for all courses by your Canvas administrator.

# How do I reply to an announcement as an instructor?

If you have a question or comment about an [announcement](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-are-Announcements/ta-p/39), you can reply directly to the announcement. You can also reply to comments/replies by other users.

You can reply in both course and group announcements. This lesson shows how to reply in a course, but the steps are the same.

**Note:** Not all announcements may allow replies. Additionally, [announcement replies](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-allow-or-disallow-announcement-replies-in-a-course/ta-p/707) may be disabled in Course Settings or at the account level.

# How do I allow students to like replies in a course announcement?

You can allow students to like replies in an announcement even if students are not allowed to [reply to announcements.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-allow-or-disallow-announcement-replies-in-a-course/ta-p/707) If an announcement allows liking, users will see a Like icon within each announcement reply. By default, liking is available to all users in the course; however, you can choose to restrict the option to graders only.

The Like icon is enabled on a per-announcement basis and displays once there is at least one reply to the announcement.

As an instructor, you can also [like announcement replies](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-like-a-reply-in-a-course-announcement-as-an-instructor/ta-p/763).

# How do I copy an announcement to another course?

As an instructor, you can copy individual announcements in one course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled. You can also [send announcements to other instructors](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-send-an-announcement-to-another-instructor/ta-p/887) at your institution.

Announcements that have already been posted do not send notifications to users in the course where the announcement is sent. Announcements that include a delay posting date retain that date and send notifications when the announcement is posted.

When you copy an announcement, any assets within that announcement (images, files, etc.) will be included in the announcement copy. Announcement settings, including delay posting dates, are also included in the announcement copy.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-option-to-select"><div>- The option to select a module displays when copying an announcement, but is not functional. You cannot place a copied announcement in a module.
- To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.
- Shared content does not count against course or user quotas.
- If you copy the same announcement to the same course more than once, the announcement you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied announcement.

# How do I take roll call using the Attendance tool?

Once the attendance tool is set up in your course, and your course is published, you can start to take attendance using Roll Call.

The attendance tool is configured by default to allow taking roll seven days a week. This setting is useful for courses where there may be a need to take attendance for an event that takes place outside of a regular school week. However, the attendance tool will only calculate grades in the gradebook out of the total number of days roll has been taken.

Currently you can only view Roll Call on a day-by-day basis. To view additional dates you can [run an attendance report](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-run-Roll-Call-Attendance-reports-in-a-course/ta-p/1023) for your course.

**Note:** Students cannot access the Attendance tool; only instructors have the ability to take attendance. However, students can see the Attendance assignment in the Assignments page and view their attendance report as part of the Roll Call Attendance submission details page. If you are using attendance for grading, students can also view their attendance grade in the Grades page.

# How do I view weekly online activity analytics in a data table in New Analytics?

By default, the analytics page displays an [interactive analytics chart graph](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-weekly-online-activity-analytics-in-an-interactive/ta-p/578) of all weekly online activity. However, you can choose to view analytics data as a table. Data is for viewing only and cannot directly be changed. You can view analytics in both active and concluded courses.

New Analytics allows you to view the average number of page views and participations per week in your course. The average page views is the average approximation of student activity across the course. Participation analytics are defined by specific actions a student takes in the course and can be used to identify trends in the course. Page views and participation metrics include an aggregate across all devices, including Canvas mobile apps.

Only active and completed student enrollments are included in data for New Analytics. Deleted or inactive user enrollments will not generate data.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time the data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.
- Weekly Online Activity displays in a Monday-Sunday format.

# How do I copy a Canvas course into a new course shell?

If you are allowed to create Canvas courses, you can copy a course and create a new course shell. Copied courses are added to the same subaccount as the course that is copied.

Courses should be copied when you want to use or repurpose previously created content including course settings, syllabus, assignments, modules, files, pages, discussions, quizzes, and question banks. You can also copy or adjust events and due dates as well as bulk migrate quizzes from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes. You can also copy or adjust events and due dates. Not all content can be copied as part of a course.

When you copy a Canvas course using the Copy this Course button, you will be added to the course as an instructor automatically.

[Learn more about the Course Import Tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Course-Import-Tool/ta-p/21).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-course-imports-may-n"><div>- Course imports may not include all content. For more details, please see the [import content section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Course-Import-Tool/ta-p/21) in the Canvas Basics Guide.
- Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.
- If the Copy this Course button does not appear in Course Settings, this feature has been restricted by your institution. However, if you already have access to a course shell, you can [copy a course through the Course Import Tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012).
- Copies of existing Canvas courses and course files reference the original Canvas course file quota and do not count against course file quotas.
- If you copy all content or include course settings in selected content, the grade posting policy from the original course will override the grade posting policy in the new course. Additionally, imported assignments will retain their assignment posting policy from the original course.
- If you are unable to find your course, it may be located under Courses in the [Global Navigation](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Colder-Storage/How-do-I-view-all-my-Canvas-courses-as-an-instructor/td-p/257741).
- When a course is copied that includes a new quiz with an item bank, the item bank is shared with the new course automatically.
- To prevent 0s (zero grades) from being automatically entered into the Gradebook when importing content into a course with a late/missing policy set up, it is recommended that you temporarily disable your late/missing policy before importing the content. You can re-enable it once the import is complete.

<div data-step-uuid="2b109581-e991-464e-8b9d-223a46a805a6" id="bkmrk-new-quizzes-does-not"><div><div>- New Quizzes does not include a survey feature. Therefore, surveys migrated from Classic Quizzes come over as standard quizzes in New Quizzes.
- After migration to New Quizzes, multiple dropdown questions display as matching questions.
- Text No Question questions migrate to New Quizzes as Stimulus questions. An instructor must add a question in order for it to display in a quiz.
- Question groups with manually created questions will migrate as item banks in New Quizzes.
- If a quiz is migrated multiple times, Canvas uses smart merging to decipher the question bank content that should be retained. This process helps ensure all content is retained, such as in cases where multiple users may be making edits to a quiz at the same time.

# How do I send a message to all students based on specific course participation criteria in New Analytics?

When viewing weekly online activity in New Analytics, you can send a message to students whose participation are among two specific criterion: did or did not view a resource and did or did not participate with a specific resource. Message recipients are automatically populated based on selected criterion as well as any applied filters.

Sent messages can be viewed within the Sent folder in the Conversations Inbox. Messages sent to more than one student are sent as individual messages.

If needed, you can also [send a message to an individual student](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-send-a-message-to-an-individual-student-based-on/ta-p/609).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.

# How do I send a message to an individual student based on specific course participation criteria in New Analytics?

When comparing the course average to an individual student, you can send a message to the student in the analytics page.

Sent messages can be viewed within the Sent folder in the Conversations Inbox.

# How do I export a Canvas course?

You can export a Canvas course to give to someone in another Canvas account, to upload to another institution's account at a later date, or to create a copy as a backup on your local computer. You can [import an export file](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-a-Canvas-course-export-package/ta-p/795) into Canvas at any time.

Exports are packaged as IMSCC ZIP files, which can only be opened by programs that support Common Cartridge files. You can also change the extension from .imscc to .zip and treat it as any other ZIP file.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-canvas-exports-do-no"><div>- Canvas exports do not include backups of student interactions and grades. Grades can be exported separately as a comma separated values (CSV) file.
- Some external app LTI tools such as Google Drive and Office 365 do not retain tool configurations in exported courses. You may consider [copying the course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012) instead.
- Canvas does not support course export files over 20 GB. Courses over 20 GB in size will not export and will display an error message when you attempt to export.
- Canvas for Elementary export packages retain the Canvas for Elementary theme.

# How do I view and download reports in New Analytics?

<main id="bkmrk-you-can-view-and-dow"><article>You can view and download reports for published courses as CSV files in New Analytics. You can download reports for missing assignments, late assignments, excused assignments, class roster, and course activity. Reports can be filtered depending on the report type.

Report data may be delayed by 24 hours; however, Course Activity Report data may be delayed by 40 hours.

New Analytics report data begins on the date that New Analytics was enabled in a published course. For example, if a course enabled New Analytics on October 1 and downloaded a report on October 15, the report would only include data between October 1-15.

**Note:** In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.

# How do I select specific content as part of a course import?

When [importing course content with the Course Import Tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012), you can choose to select specific content as part of the import. This option allows you to select specific content areas such as assignments, settings, and files without importing the entire course.

Not all content can be copied as part of a course.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-linked-files-and-ima"><div>- Linked files and images in course content, such as in assignments, discussions, and pages, are only retained when you [import an entire course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-a-Canvas-course-export-package/ta-p/795). For more information about the Course Import Tool's limitations, view the [Course Import Tool overview](https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10713-67952724501).
- Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.
- If you change your mind after the import has started and you want to import all course content, you can import all content by selecting each item for a content type.
- To prevent 0s (zero grades) from being automatically entered into the Gradebook when importing content into a course with a late/missing policy set up, it is recommended that you temporarily disable your late/missing policy before importing the content. You can re-enable it once the import is complete.

# How do I view the Online Attendance report in New Analytics?

If your course has [New Analytics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-New-Analytics/ta-p/73) enabled, and your institution has [enabled the Online Attendance report](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-enable-the-New-Analytics-Online-Attendance-report-in-an/ta-p/478614), you can view an Online Attendance report. This report is based on criteria that has been selected by your institution. Your institution can select from the following criteria:

<div id="bkmrk-course-access%3A-stude"><div><div>- Course Access: student views a page in a course
- Posts: student posts a new comment to an announcement or a discussion
- Assignments: student submits an assignment
- Collaborations: student loads a collaboration to view/edit document
- Conferences: student joins a web conference
- Pages: student creates a page
- Quizzes: student starts taking or submits a classic quiz

</div></div></div>If a student meets the requirements of any selected criteria, they will be marked as present for that day in the Online Attendance report.

You can filter the report by student, section, date, and criteria status. You can also select which days of the week your class is in session and when students are expected to meet attendance criteria.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the [Navigation tab in Course Settings](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-Course-Navigation-links/ta-p/1020). If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.
- The Conferences criteria only applies to BigBlueButton conferences. The Quizzes criteria only applies to Classic Quizzes.

# How do I import Thin Common Cartridge files as separate modules?

If your institution uses Thin Common Cartridge files, you can use the select specific content option in course imports to import content as separate modules. Thin Common Cartridge is a subset of the full Common Cartridge specification.

Selecting content in a Thin Common Cartridge file is structured differently than other import types. Thin Common Cartridge is a lightweight metadata structure most commonly used by K12 institutions that allows publishers to provide digital resources using LTI links (external tools), which usually contains a significant number of resources in one common cartridge interchange file (.imscc). Thin Common Cartridge files are designed by creating items grouped into a folder or series of folders that defines how the content should be organized for the learner.

When importing Thin Common Cartridge files, Canvas uses metadata identifiers and titles to simulate the hierarchical structure within the Thin Common Cartridge file. This structure appears as nested content within the Modules content heading, allowing users to view a structured organization and locate the content they want to import into the course. By default, grouped content is imported as one module, but they can also be imported as separate modules. Individual content within a content group is automatically imported as separate modules.

**Note:** If you want to import several content groups as separate modules, module settings are applied on *a per-content-group basis,* meaning you must fully expand each content group and specify the separate modules option.

# How do I adjust events and due dates in a course import?

As part of a course import, you can adjust the due dates associated with course events and assignments. You can also shift due dates to a different day, or remove all associated due dates.

It is recommended to shift due dates of imported content before students are enrolled in the course. If students are enrolled before course content is imported with due dates, students may not be able to submit work for those imported assignments.

**Note:** If you set beginning and ending dates as part of a date adjustment in a course import, those dates will be automatically set as the course participation start date and end date. However, if course participation start and end dates have already been set for the course, course participation start and end dates will not be changed.

Once the course is imported, you can easily confirm and adjust any assignment dates using the calendar.

**Notes:**

<div data-step-uuid="a4910741-4bad-427f-bd29-9031745b0999" id="bkmrk-it-is-recommended-to-0"><div data-step-uuid="a4910741-4bad-427f-bd29-9031745b0999"><div data-step-uuid="3a6ca4b2-45a4-4c4c-a21c-6992a41a31db"><div><div>- It is recommended to shift due dates of imported content before students are enrolled in the course. If students are enrolled before course content is imported with due dates, students may not be able to submit work for those imported assignments.
- If the course where you are importing the content contains course override dates in Course Settings, those dates will be automatically pre-populated in the **change to** fields.
- The course participation start and end dates will be automatically set to the dates set in the **change to** fields when adjusting dates in a course import. However, if course participation start and end dates have already been set for the course, course participation start and end dates will not be changed.
- For the feature to work properly, it is recommended that dates for both the **Beginning date** and **Ending date** fields are selected.
- To prevent 0s (zero grades) from being automatically entered into the Gradebook when importing content into a course with a late/missing policy set up, it is recommended that you temporarily disable your late/missing policy before importing the content.

# How do I view the status of current and prior course imports?

Current jobs in the Course Import Tool show the status of a course import. Status can help you view the progress of the import and if there is any action required on your part. An import can display up to five statuses.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-canvas-only-process-"><div>- Canvas only process one import at a time.
- Canvas course imports count against course quotas. If your course import is larger than your course quota allotment, your course will not import. Contact your Canvas admin to request a larger course quota.
- Copied Canvas courses and course items do not count against course quotas. If your course import is larger than your course quota allotment, and if your course already exists in Canvas, you can [copy the course or course items](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-a-Canvas-course-into-a-new-course-shell/ta-p/712) from the original course into your new course without impacting your course quota.

# How do I copy a Canvas course into a new course shell?

If you are allowed to create Canvas courses, you can copy a course and create a new course shell. Copied courses are added to the same subaccount as the course that is copied.

Courses should be copied when you want to use or repurpose previously created content including course settings, syllabus, assignments, modules, files, pages, discussions, quizzes, and question banks. You can also copy or adjust events and due dates as well as bulk migrate quizzes from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes. You can also copy or adjust events and due dates. Not all content can be copied as part of a course.

When you copy a Canvas course using the Copy this Course button, you will be added to the course as an instructor automatically.

[Learn more about the Course Import Tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Course-Import-Tool/ta-p/21).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-course-imports-may-n"><div>- Course imports may not include all content. For more details, please see the [import content section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Course-Import-Tool/ta-p/21) in the Canvas Basics Guide.
- Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.
- If the Copy this Course button does not appear in Course Settings, this feature has been restricted by your institution. However, if you already have access to a course shell, you can [copy a course through the Course Import Tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012).
- Copies of existing Canvas courses and course files reference the original Canvas course file quota and do not count against course file quotas.
- If you copy all content or include course settings in selected content, the grade posting policy from the original course will override the grade posting policy in the new course. Additionally, imported assignments will retain their assignment posting policy from the original course.
- If you are unable to find your course, it may be located under Courses in the [Global Navigation](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Colder-Storage/How-do-I-view-all-my-Canvas-courses-as-an-instructor/td-p/257741).
- When a course is copied that includes a new quiz with an item bank, the item bank is shared with the new course automatically.
- To prevent 0s (zero grades) from being automatically entered into the Gradebook when importing content into a course with a late/missing policy set up, it is recommended that you temporarily disable your late/missing policy before importing the content. You can re-enable it once the import is complete.

If your institution enables the quiz migration feature, question banks linked via a question group in Classic Quizzes will migrate to New Quizzes. If the quiz migration feature is not enabled by your institution, questions from question banks must be individually added before migrating to New Quizzes.

<div data-step-uuid="2b109581-e991-464e-8b9d-223a46a805a6" id="bkmrk-new-quizzes-does-not"><div><div>- New Quizzes does not include a survey feature. Therefore, surveys migrated from Classic Quizzes come over as standard quizzes in New Quizzes.
- After migration to New Quizzes, multiple dropdown questions display as matching questions.
- Text No Question questions migrate to New Quizzes as Stimulus questions. An instructor must add a question in order for it to display in a quiz.
- Question groups with manually created questions will migrate as item banks in New Quizzes.
- If a quiz is migrated multiple times, Canvas uses smart merging to decipher the question bank content that should be retained. This process helps ensure all content is retained, such as in cases where multiple users may be making edits to a quiz at the same time.
- Practice quizzes from Classic Quizzes can be migrated to New Quizzes. Once migrated, by default, the practice quizzes are displayed as zero points possible and are hidden from the Gradebook and Grades page.

# How do I use the Course Home Page as an instructor?

If you are enrolled in a course as an instructor, the Course Home Page is the first page students see when they open the course. The Home Page also helps students understand how they can navigate through the course. You can customize the Home Page to create a specific workflow for your students.

To help you learn how to navigate a Canvas course, this lesson uses a course that has already been populated. To learn how to build a new course, visit the [create a new course shell](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-new-course-from-the-Dashboard-as-an-instructor/ta-p/794) lesson.

**Note**: If your institution has enabled the [Course Setup Tutorial](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Canvas-course-setup-tutorial-as-an-instructor/ta-p/1013), course pages such as Assignments and Discussions are responsive to the full width of the browser and minimize white space in the sidebar. This responsive behavior applies to all users in your institution.

# How do I add an external app in a course?

There are many places where you can find Apps to use in your courses. You can add external apps in the Canvas App Center, the Edu App Center, or through vendor-provided tools.

Once configured, external apps may be able to be added to Modules, Course Navigation, the Rich Content Editor, and Assignments. The external app should include information about where the app can be placed in Canvas.

# How do I use the Course Navigation Menu as an instructor?

The Course Navigation Menu is a series of links on the left side of your course that help you and your students access different course areas. The Course Navigation Menu is visible by default, but you can choose to collapse it.

Depending on the structure of your course, you can choose to [reorder and hide course navigation links](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-Course-Navigation-links/ta-p/1020).

**Note:** If you have [enabled the Canvas Elementary Theme](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-an-elementary-level-theme-in-a-course-as-an/ta-p/672) for your course, the Course Navigation Menu displays a different font.

# How do I view all groups in a course as an instructor?

Canvas has two types of groups: student groups and group sets. Student groups can be created by either an instructor or a student and are self-organized by students. Group sets are groups that you create to use for graded assignments.

You can also create a new name to differentiate the cloned group set. If you do not change the name, the group name will remain the same but identified as a clone.

If you want to modify a group but the group includes student submissions, you should clone the group instead of modifying the group memberships. Modifying the group may have unintended consequences for student grades.

To delete the group set, click the **Delete** link \[4\]. Deleting a group set also deletes all the groups within the group set.

# How do I manage Course Navigation links?

As an instructor, you can control which links appear in Course Navigation. Canvas includes a set of default Course Navigation links that are shown by default and cannot be renamed. Depending on your course configuration, other links may be available and may be customizable.

Links to sections that don't have any content and that students cannot create content for are automatically hidden for students and display the Visibility icon to instructors. For example, if there are no learning outcomes set for the course, you see the Outcomes link with the Visibility icon, but students cannot see the link at all. Configured External Apps may create additional Course Navigation links.

Disabling a course navigation link creates the following redirects:

<div id="bkmrk-hidden-only-%28cannot-"><div><div>- **Hidden only (cannot be disabled but still accessible via direct URL):** Discussions and Grades
- **Page disabled; redirected to Home page:** Announcements, Assignments, Conferences, Collaborations, Files, Modules, Outcomes, Quizzes, Pages, People, Rubrics, and Syllabus
- **Page disabled; won't appear in navigation:** Any LTI links, such as Attendance, Chat, Lucid, and SCORM

</div></div></div>Reordering and hiding Course Navigation links for Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, and Files also affects the course tabs in the [Dashboard course view ](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/FRD-Colder-Storage/How-do-I-view-my-favorite-courses-in-the-Card-View-Dashboard-as/td-p/257752)for all users. Additionally, disabling the Files link hides the Files tab in the Content Selector in the Rich Content Editor for students.

The following course navigation links will still be visible to instructors even if they have been hidden or disabled: Home, Announcements, Assignments, Collaborations, Conferences, Discussions, Files, Grades, Modules, Outcomes, Pages, People, Quizzes, Rubrics, Settings, and Syllabus.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-navigation-links-tha"><div>- Navigation links that cannot be disabled require the URL access to display related data in other Canvas areas. Access to hidden pages may be further restricted by changing specific student permissions in Canvas. Contact your Canvas admin for assistance.
- If you disable the Course Navigation link for an external tool, the link no longer displays in your Course Navigation list.
- If the course navigation link for the page is disabled and hidden from students, the Student View button does not display.
- Before you can manage placement of some LTI app links, such as Lucid and New Analytics, an admin must [place the LTI external app into Course Navigation](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-manage-external-app-placements-for-an-account/ta-p/417797) for the account.

# How do I add a group set in a course?

Group sets house the different groups within a course. Before creating a new group set, you may want to view the [existing group sets](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-all-groups-in-a-course-as-an-instructor/ta-p/696). You can also [clone an existing group set](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-all-groups-in-a-course-as-an-instructor/ta-p/696). You can also [edit or delete](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-edit-or-delete-a-group-set-in-a-course/ta-p/626646) an existing group set.

Once you have created a group set, you can [manually create groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manually-create-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/700) in the set or [automatically create groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-automatically-create-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/720) in the set. Alternatively, you can create and assign students to groups by [importing a CSV file](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/417799).

**Note:** Canvas allows you to create up to 200 groups.

# How do I edit or delete a group set in a course?

Once you have [created a group set](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-group-set-in-a-course/ta-p/693), you can edit it at any time. Editing a group set allows you to change the group set name, [create self sign-up groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-self-sign-up-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/691), and [assign a student group leader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-a-student-leader-to-a-group/ta-p/944).

If self sign-up is allowed, you can also set or change the number of group members allowed in a group, but changing a member limit will apply to all groups in your group set. You can modify the limitations within an individual group, such as changing one group to allow a few more members than the other groups. However, at a later time if you decide to edit the entire group set and change the group set limitations, Canvas will override all member limitations created within individual groups.

You can delete a group set from your course if necessary. Deleting a group set also deletes all groups within that set.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-delete-a-grou"><div>- If you delete a group set that has been used for a graded group assignment, student names, rather than group names, display in SpeedGrader. However, students that were assigned grades prior to deleting the group set will still display the same submission, grade, and assignment comments.
- If the deleted group set was assigned for a future group assignment and is not replaced with another group set, students may see a warning that their submission is being used for a group. However, their submission, grade, and assignment comments will only display for them.

# How do I import groups in a group set?

In a group set, you can choose to create and assign students to groups by importing a CSV file. Alternatively, you can choose to [manually create groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manually-create-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/700) or [automatically assign students to groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-automatically-assign-students-to-groups/ta-p/725) in a group set.

**Note:** In group assignments, all students should be assigned to groups before the assignment is published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group.

# What layout options are available in the Course Home Page as an instructor?

The Course Home Page is associated with the Home link in Course Navigation and is the first page seen for each course. Each Course Home Page can have one of five different layouts depending on your preference.

Each Course Home Page layout also includes specific items in the sidebar, in addition to the To Do list.

The Course Home Page defaults to the Modules page, but you can [change the Course Home Page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-Course-Home-Page/ta-p/1035). Additionally, all Course Home Page layouts can display recent announcements at the top of the page. However, only text and links are displayed for each announcement.

# How do I manually create groups in a group set?

In a group set, you can choose to manually create groups. You can also [automatically create groups in a group set](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-automatically-create-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/720) or [create groups by importing a CSV file](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/417799).

**Note:** In group assignments, all students should be assigned to groups before the assignment is published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group.

# How do I create self sign-up groups in a group set?

Self sign-up groups allow users to choose the group they want to be in as part of a group set. You can also limit the number of members who can sign up for each group.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-you-may-have-to-chan"><div>- You may have to change the group settings later if you want to [prevent students from switching sections](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-prevent-students-from-switching-groups-in-self-sign-up/ta-p/689).

# How do I use the Course Activity Stream as an instructor?

The Course Activity Stream shows you important recent activities from a single course including announcements, discussions, assignments, and conversations. This stream is similar to the [Global Activity Stream](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/FRD-Colder-Storage/How-do-I-view-global-activity-for-all-my-courses-in-the-Recent/td-p/246707) in the Dashboard when you first log in to Canvas.

The following activities will cause notifications to appear in the Course Activity Stream:

<div id="bkmrk-new-announcements-re"><div><div>- New Announcements
- Replies to Announcements
- New Discussions
- New Discussion Posts
- New Assignments
- Assignments, Quizzes, or Discussions Changed from Ungraded to Graded
- Due Date Changes to Assignments, Quizzes, and Discussions
- New Graded Assignments
- New Peer Review Assignments
- New Conversation Messages

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-notifications-in-the"><div>- Notifications in the Course Activity Stream will not appear for activity in Files, Collaborations, Grades, Pages, or Conferences; ungraded quizzes and surveys; or edits to Discussions.
- Edits to Quizzes and Assignments will only appear in the Course Activity Stream when the **Notify users that this content has changed** button has been selected.
- If your Course Home Page is already set to view the course stream, the View Course Stream link does not appear in the course sidebar.

This activity stream helps you see all recent activity in your course and easily ask questions and post to discussion forums.

You can manage recent activity in a course the same way you can on the Dashboard. Activities are indicated by activity type and display an icon for the activity \[1\]. New activity in your account is indicated by a blue dot \[2\]. Discussions and Announcements indicate new activity items published in a course, and Conversations indicate a new message received from a user in a course. Recent Activity items remain for four weeks.

**Note:** To receive notifications for Discussions, you must actively post in the discussions at least once every two weeks. If you stop participating in a discussion after two weeks, Canvas will no longer display discussion notifications.

# How do I allow students to create their own student groups?

You can allow students to create their own student groups in your course. Groups created by students cannot be used to assign group projects. Students can be a member of more than one student group. Students can create students groups to create study groups, collaborate on projects, host discussions, and schedule meetings and conferences.

When new student groups are created, they will display on the Student Groups tab on the People page.

**Note:** If necessary, student groups listed in the Student Groups tab on the People page can be deleted. However, the Student Groups group set cannot be deleted if student groups have been added to the set.

# How do I use the Syllabus as an instructor?

The Syllabus in Canvas makes it easy to communicate to your students exactly what will be required of them throughout the course in chronological order. You can also set the syllabus as your [course home page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-Course-Home-Page/ta-p/1035).

Editing the Syllabus allows you to add text and link files, images, and other course content in your Syllabus Description. You can also choose to hide the Course Summary section.

You can choose to make your syllabus public so that people who aren't enrolled in your course can view more information about the course. A public syllabus can be viewed as part of a private course when you send a link to a student, or if the course is listed in the [public course index](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-include-a-course-in-the-Public-Course-Index/ta-p/812).

**Note:** Image files do not have a preview option when added as a file link through the Rich Content Editor.

Alternatively, you can choose to [automatically assign students to groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-automatically-assign-students-to-groups/ta-p/725) or create and assign students to groups by [importing a CSV file](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/417799).

**Note:** In group assignments, all students should be assigned to groups before the assignment is published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group.

# How do I assign a student leader to a group?

You can assign a student group leader to help manage a group within your course. You can assign group leaders automatically or manually. When students are assigned to be a group leader, they can manage members of the group and edit the group name. However, they cannot change the number of members allowed in the group.

Students do not receive any notification that they have been added as a group leader, but they can access groups directly from the Groups link in Global Navigation or through the People page in the course.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-if-an-assigned-group"><div>- If an assigned group leader drops out of the course, you will have to select a new group leader only if the group leader was assigned manually. If you automatically assigned a group leader as part of creating a group set, Canvas will automatically assign another leader to the group.
- Students should be assigned to groups before group assignments are published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group or students who were removed from a group.

# How do I prevent students from switching groups in self sign-up groups?

When self-sign up is enabled for a group, students are able to switch groups. To prevent students from switching groups you can disable self sign-up at any time.

If a group has a student leader, the leader will be able to manage group memberships through the course People page regardless of self sign-up settings. However, student group leaders cannot change the number of members allowed in a group.

# How do I move a student into a different group?

You can move students within groups. However, changes should be made before assigning a group to an assignment.

If a student is added to or removed from a group after receiving submissions, the submissions and grades may not align correctly. If a student is added to a group after the group submission, any re-submissions will overwrite the original submission; all previous grades will remain but the Gradebook will show the assignment was resubmitted since last graded. If you want to move a group member with a graded submission, you may want to [clone the group set](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-all-groups-in-a-course-as-an-instructor/ta-p/696) instead.

**Note:** In group assignments, all students should be assigned to groups before the assignment is published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group.

# How do I manage rubrics in a course?

As an instructor, you can create, edit, and delete rubrics in your course. Rubrics are used as grading criteria for students and can be added to assignments, quizzes, and graded discussions.

[Learn more about rubrics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-are-Rubrics/ta-p/35).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-rubrics-cannot-be-ed"><div>- Rubrics cannot be edited once they have been added to more than one assignment.
- When you delete a rubric, Canvas will remove the rubric from all associated assignments in the course and remove any existing scores and assessments given using the rubric.

# How do I add a rubric in a course?

If you cannot find a rubric you want to use in your course, you can create a new rubric. Once you create a rubric, the rubric is saved in your course for future use. You can [add the rubric to an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058) and use the rubric for grading and adding comments. You can manage created rubrics in the [Manage Rubrics page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-rubrics-in-a-course/ta-p/1017).

This lesson shows how to create a rubric in the Manage Rubrics page. You can also create a rubric directly when adding a rubric to an assignment, and the process is the same.

Rubric criteria can include a point range or an individual point value.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-criterion-cannot-be-"><div>- Criterion cannot be reordered after they are added to a classic rubric.
- If the steps in this lesson do not match what is displayed in your course, learn how to [add a rubric in the Enhanced Rubrics interface](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-in-a-course-using-Enhanced-Rubrics/ta-p/609339).

If you want to create a point range instead, click the **Range** checkbox \[1\]. Ranges allow you to assign a rating for a range of point options instead of just one point value.

When enabled, the first rating (full marks) shows the total point value in a range format \[2\]. Each rating displays a maximum and minimum point value. For each rating, the maximum value is assigned as the point value.

Except for the range value display, criterion ranges function the same way as individual point ratings. For instance, a range that includes a maximum of five points and a minimum of three points is assigned the full point value of five points.

# How do I align an outcome with a rubric in a course?

You can align any outcome in your course to a rubric. Rubrics are used to help students understand expectations for an assignment and how their submissions will be graded. Outcomes can be aligned with a rubric for additional assessment and measurable performance.

To align an outcome, the outcome must already exist for your course. You can align outcomes created at the account level, or learn how to [create course outcomes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-outcome-for-a-course/ta-p/862).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-outcomes-can-be-adde"><div>- Outcomes can be added to rubrics, but rubrics cannot be added to outcomes.
- Rubrics cannot be edited once they have been added to more than one assignment in a course.
- If the steps in this lesson do not match what is displayed in your course, learn how to [align an outcome in the Enhanced Rubrics interface](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-align-an-outcome-with-a-rubric-in-a-course-using/ta-p/609340).

# How do I add a rubric to an assignment?

You can add a rubric to an assignment to help students understand expectations for the assignment and how you intend to score their submissions. Occasionally, rubrics are added to assignments when you have an outcome inside of the rubric that you would like to use for alignment purposes. In addition to assignments, rubrics can also be added to [graded discussions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-a-graded-discussion/ta-p/1062) and [quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-a-quiz/ta-p/1009).

Rubrics can be added by finding an existing rubric in one of your courses, or by creating a new rubric.

**Note:** When you add a rubric to a moderated assignment, any associated outcome results display in the Learning Mastery Gradebook only after final grades are posted.

To create a copy of the rubric, click the **OK** button. Canvas will create a copied version of the rubric. The edited version will automatically replace the previous rubric in the assignment. If you use the rubric for grading, the rubric will update for all students in SpeedGrader. You may want to re-review student submissions that may have already been graded with the original rubric.

The copied rubric will also be saved in the [course rubrics list](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-rubrics-in-a-course/ta-p/1017) for future use.

**Note:** A rubric linked to multiple assignments will not be copied if the only change made is to use the rubric for assignment grading.

# How do I create a course outcome in Improved Outcomes Management?

If you cannot [find an outcome](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-find-an-existing-outcome-to-add-to-a-course-in-Improved/ta-p/486363) to use in your course, you can create a new outcome.

Outcomes can be included in [assignment rubrics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-in-a-course/ta-p/842) as an easy way to assess mastery of learning objectives. When you create a learning outcome, you should also define a criterion that can be used when building assignment rubrics. Define as many rubric columns as you need, and specify a point threshold that will be used to define mastery of this outcome.

This lesson displays how to create outcomes in a course within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to [create outcomes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-outcome-for-a-course/ta-p/862)[ ](https://canvas.screenstepslive.com/admin/v2/internal_links/1136008?type=article&site_id=2204)in the classic Outcomes page view.

In order to use Improved Outcomes Management, you course must also use course-wide mastery scales and calculations. Because of this, you cannot add criterion ratings, mastery levels, and calculation methods for individual outcomes in Improved Outcomes Management.

# How do I add a rubric to a graded discussion?

You can add a rubric to a graded discussion to help students understand expectations for the discussion and how you intend to score their replies. Occasionally, rubrics are added to discussions when you have an outcome inside of the rubric that you would like to use for alignment purposes. In addition to graded discussions, rubrics can also be added to [assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-a-graded-discussion/ta-p/1062) and [quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-a-quiz/ta-p/1009).

# How do I add a rubric to a quiz?

You can add a rubric to a quiz to help students understand expectations for the quiz and how you intend to score their replies. Occasionally, rubrics are added to quizzes when you have an outcome inside of the rubric that you would like to use for alignment purposes. In addition to quizzes, rubrics can also be added to [graded discussions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-a-graded-discussion/ta-p/1062) and [assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-you-cannot-use-a-rub"><div>- You cannot use a rubric for grading in quizzes, since quiz scores are calculated based on the number of points assigned to each quiz question.
- You cannot add a rubric to a practice quiz or ungraded survey.

If this option is selected, no ratings are used to assess the student and criterion values are assigned manually.

If you want to remove points from the rubric, select the **Remove points from rubric** checkbox \[2\]. If this option is selected, no points are associated with the rubric, but students can still be rated using the rubric criterion.

If you have the Learning Mastery Gradebook enabled but you don't want outcome results posted to the Learning Mastery Gradebook, select the **Don't post Outcomes results to Learning Mastery Gradebook** checkbox \[3\]. If this option is selected, students will be able to see rubric and outcome results in the Grades and submission details pages but results will not be posted to the Learning Mastery Gradebook.

If you don't want students to see the score total for the rubric, select the **Hide score total for assessment results** checkbox \[4\]. Students can still see the point values for each criterion, but the total score will not be shown at the bottom of the rubric. This option applies to students when they view rubrics from the Grades page.

# How do I import outcomes into a course in Improved Outcomes Management?

You can bulk import outcomes for your course using a CSV file. A bulk import allows you to add new outcomes to your course or update the details of multiple outcomes at one time.

The CSV file must be formatted correctly according to the [Outcomes Import Format Documentation](https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.outcomes_csv.html). [Download a sample outcomes.csv file](https://s3.amazonaws.com/tr-learncanvas/files/outcomes/outcomes.csv) with one outcome group and six outcomes.

After your CSV file has been processed, you will receive an email notification confirming a successful import or displaying errors with your file. If there were errors, the email contains details about the first 100 errors including the row of the error and a short description.

This lesson displays how to import outcomes in a course within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to [import outcomes in the classic Outcomes page view](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-outcomes-for-a-course/ta-p/702).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-outcomes-import-supp"><div>- Outcomes import supports CSV or JSON files.
- Importing outcomes is a course permission. If you do not have permission to import outcomes, your institution has restricted this feature.
- In new outcomes, the vendor\_guid field must not contain a colon.

# How do I edit or remove a course outcome group in Improved Outcomes Management?

If you created an outcome group in your course that you need to edit or remove, you can do so as long as the outcomes in the group have not yet been used to assess a student. Once an outcome in the group has been [aligned with an item or artifact](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-all-aligned-items-in-Improved-Outcomes-Management/ta-p/546237) and used for scoring, you cannot modify the outcome group. However, you can still modify the details of the outcome group.

You can delete an outcome group as long as it does not contain any outcomes that cannot be modified.

This lesson displays how to edit or remove outcome groups in a course within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option.

# How do I move course outcomes and outcome groups in Improved Outcomes Management?

You can move outcomes and outcome groups from your course Outcomes page. When moving an outcome group, you move the group within another outcome group. When moving outcomes, you can move multiple outcomes at the same time.

This lesson displays how to move outcomes and outcome groups in a course within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to [move outcomes and outcome groups in the classic Outcomes page view.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-move-outcomes-and-outcome-groups-in-a-course/ta-p/1121)

**Note:** If you are unable to move outcomes or outcome groups in your course, this feature has not been enabled by your institution.

# How do I find an existing outcome to add to a course in Improved Outcomes Management?

All outcomes added at the account or sub-account levels are available to you as an instructor. You can find and import Account Standards, which are outcomes that have been created by your Canvas Administrator for the entire institution. You can import an individual outcome or multiple outcomes.

Learning Standards imported to the account or sub-account levels can be found within the Account Standards outcome group. Depending on what has been imported by your administrator, the following learning standards may be available:

<div id="bkmrk-common-core-standard"><div><div>- Common Core Standards are available for Language Arts, Math, and Science (NGSS)
- State-specific standards are available for Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies (if imported by your institution)

# How do I create an outcome for a course?

If you cannot [find an outcome](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-find-an-existing-outcome-to-add-to-a-course/ta-p/866) to use in your course, you can create a new outcome.

Outcomes can be included in [assignment rubrics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-in-a-course/ta-p/842) as an easy way to assess mastery of learning objectives. When you create a learning outcome, you should also define a criterion that can be used when building assignment rubrics. Define as many rubric columns as you need, and specify a point threshold that will be used to define mastery of this outcome.

This field indicates the number of points that must be achieved for mastery according to the criterion ratings.

In the **Calculation Method** drop-down menu \[2\], select the calculation method for the outcome. By default, new outcomes are set to the Weighted Average calculation method in the Canvas interface.

Click the **Save** button \[3\].

### Select Calculation Method

You can set one of the following calculation methods: Weighted Average, Decaying Average, n Number of Times, Most Recent Score, and Highest Score.

**Weighted Average:** Select this option to average assessment item scores with a greater weight for the most recently edited assessment item. The Weighted Average calculation splits the total percentage between the most recently edited assessment item and an average of all prior assessment items. For example, you can set the most recently edited assignment to be weighted at 40% of the total and prior items to be weighted at 60% of the total.

Enter a percentage between 1% and 99% for the most recent item weight. The remaining amount is used to weigh prior scores. The percentage split is set to 65/35 by default. The average is rounded to the next two decimals. If there is only one result, the single score will be displayed.

**Decaying Average:** Select this option to average assessment item scores with a greater weight for the most recently edited assessment item. The Decaying Average calculation splits the total percentage between the most recently edited assessment item and an average of all prior assessment items. For example, you can set the most recently edited assignment to be weighted at 40% of the total and prior items to be weighted at 60% of the total.

Enter a percentage between 50% and 99% for the most recent item weight. The remaining amount is used to weigh prior scores. The percentage split is set to 65/35 by default. The average is rounded to the next two decimals. If there is only one result, the single score will be displayed.

**n Number of Times:** Select this option to set a number of times that a student must meet or exceed mastery on a set amount of aligned items. Any scores that do not meet mastery are not used in the calculation. You can specify between 1 and 10 items required for mastery.

**Most Recent Score:** Select this option to always selects the most recent score for all assessment items.

**Highest Score:** Select this option to always select the highest score for all assessment items.

**Note:** If you cannot edit calculation methods for your outcome, your institution has enabled [course-wide outcome calculation methods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-outcome-mastery-calculations-in-a-course/ta-p/429019).

# How do I import outcomes for a course?

You can bulk import outcomes for your course using a CSV file. A bulk import allows you to add new outcomes to your course or update the details of multiple outcomes at one time.

The CSV file must be formatted correctly according to the [Outcomes Import Format Documentation](https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.outcomes_csv.html). [Download a sample outcomes.csv file](https://s3.amazonaws.com/tr-learncanvas/files/outcomes/outcomes.csv) with one outcome group and six outcomes.

After your CSV file has been processed, you will receive an email notification confirming a successful import or displaying errors with your file. If there were errors, the email will contain details about the first 100 errors including the row of the error and a short description.

This lesson displays how to import outcomes in the classic Outcomes page view. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to [import outcomes in a course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-outcomes-into-a-course-in-Improved-Outcomes/ta-p/486359) within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-currently%2C-only-csv-"><div>- Currently, only CSV files are supported. JSON files will be supported in a future release.
- Importing outcomes is a course permission. If you do not have permission to import outcomes, your institution has restricted this feature.
- In new outcomes, the vendor\_guid field must not contain a colon.

# How do I edit or delete an outcome in a course?

You can edit outcomes you have created in your course. Outcomes can be modified if they have been used to assess students, but any changes may affect student results.

This lesson displays how to edit or delete an outcome in the classic Outcomes page view. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to [edit or remove an outcome in a course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-edit-or-remove-a-course-outcome-in-Improved-Outcomes/ta-p/486362) within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-you-can-modify-any-o"><div>- You can modify any outcomes where you have permission.
- If an outcome does not include an Edit or Delete button it is an account level outcome or an imported outcome that cannot be edited or deleted.
- Outcomes that have been aligned with an assignment or question bank cannot be deleted unless they are removed from the assignment or question bank. Outcomes that have been used to assess a student cannot be deleted.
- If you cannot edit mastery scales and calculation methods for an outcome, your institution has enabled course-wide [mastery scales](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-outcome-mastery-scales-in-a-course/ta-p/429018) and [calculation methods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-outcome-mastery-calculations-in-a-course/ta-p/429019).

# How do I edit or delete an outcome group in a course?

If you created an outcome group in your course that you need to edit or delete, you can do so as long as the outcomes in the group have not yet been used to assess a student. Once an outcome in the group has been [aligned with an item or artifact](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-all-aligned-items-and-artifacts-within-an-outcome/ta-p/669) and used for scoring, you cannot modify the outcome group. You can still modify the details of the outcome group.

You can delete an outcome group as long as it does not contain any outcomes that cannot be modified.

This lesson displays how to edit or delete an outcome group in the classic Outcomes page view. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to [edit or remove an outcome group in a course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-edit-or-remove-a-course-outcome-group-in-Improved/ta-p/486361) within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option.

**Note:** You can modify any outcomes or outcome groups where you have permission.

# How do I create custom course outcome names for students?

As an instructor, you can choose to enable the [Student Learning Mastery Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Colder-Storage/What-feature-options-are-currently-available-for-Canvas-courses/td-p/261879) (if allowed by your admin) and let students to see Learning Mastery scores on their Grades page. All Outcomes in the course appear in the student view. However, some official outcome names may be difficult for students to understand, so when creating outcomes at the course level, you have the option to create a custom, or more friendly name, to appear for students. This separate name field allows you to keep both the official name of the outcome as well as create a friendlier version that is more helpful for students.

This lesson displays how to create custom course outcome names in the classic Outcomes page view. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to [create custom course outcome names](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-course-outcome-in-Improved-Outcomes-Management/ta-p/486357) in a course[ ](https://canvas.screenstepslive.com/admin/v2/internal_links/1456475?type=article&site_id=2204)within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option.

**Note:** Creating a custom name is a course permission. If you have access, you will only be able to create friendly names for outcomes you create within your course. You cannot create custom names for outcomes created at the account level.

# How do I align an outcome with a question bank?

You can align any outcome in your course to a question bank. Outcomes can be aligned with a question bank for additional assessment and measurable performance.

To align an outcome, the outcome must already exist for your course. You can align outcomes created at the account level, or learn how to [create course outcomes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-outcome-for-a-course/ta-p/862).

The Learning Mastery Gradebook mastery score for an aligned outcome calculates based only on questions from the aligned question bank in a quiz. The mastery score is calculated by weighing the percentage score of correct answers from the question bank against the mastery score set when aligning the question bank to the outcome. For example, if the outcome is set to mastery at 60%, a student must score 60% or higher in order to master the outcome.

# How do I find Learning Standards to add to a course-level outcome?

Learning Standards are goals and objectives for student assessment in the United States. These standards have been created by the nation's governors and educational leaders to assess specific student learning.

All Learning Standards added at the account or sub-account levels are available to you as an instructor.

<div id="bkmrk-common-core-standard"><div><div>- Common Core Standards are available for Language Arts, Math, and Science (NGSS)
- State-specific standards are available for Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies (if imported by your institution)
- ISTE Standards for Coaches, Computer Science Educators, Students, Teachers, and Administrators
- Your Canvas Administrator must import the standards before you can find and import them for a course

</div></div></div>Learning Standards imported to the account or sub-account levels can be found within the Account Standards outcome group. However, all Learning Standards are always available as a separate outcome group for importing.

If finding an outcome does not display any Learning Standards, please contact your Canvas Administrator.

This lesson displays how to find a Learning Standards outcome in the classic Outcomes page view. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to [find an outcome in a course ](https://canvas.screenstepslive.com/admin/v2/internal_links/1456480?type=article&site_id=2204)within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option.

# How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook to view outcome results in a course?

The Learning Mastery Gradebook helps instructors and admins assess the outcome standards being used in Canvas courses. This gradebook helps institutions measure student learning for accreditation and better assess the needs of their students.

The default view in the Learning Mastery Gradebook is to view all students at the same time, but you can also view students individually using [Individual View](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-outcomes-or-student-results-individually-in-the/ta-p/1094).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-learning-mastery-0"><div>- The Learning Mastery Gradebook is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable this gradebook, learn how to manage feature options in the [course features lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-feature-options-for-a-course/ta-p/710).
- The mastery level names and colors may be customized by your institution.
- When you add a rubric to a moderated assignment, any associated outcome results display in the Learning Mastery Gradebook only after final grades are posted.
- Students can also view outcomes in a course if the Student Learning Mastery Gradebook feature option is enabled.

The first number indicates the score the student earned. The second number indicates the mastery threshold, which is the minimum the students need to achieve mastery for the outcome. For instance, if a student earns a score of 5/3, the student has earned 2 points above the base mastery threshold of 3 points \[1\]. If a student achieves a score of 2/3, the student has not achieved enough points to reach the mastery threshold \[2\].

**Note:** To view scores of inactive or concluded enrollments or unassessed student scores, click the **Options** icon in the Students column \[3\].

## View Course Mastery Levels

<div data-step-uuid="3e550435-0b2f-4914-8d54-5022306ae317" id="bkmrk--5"><div data-step-uuid="3e550435-0b2f-4914-8d54-5022306ae317"><div>![View Course Mastery Levels](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/007/676/747/original/8fb70c4a-4777-4e0d-95dd-d4250f128f1b.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>Scores are color-coded to show outcomes and the level attained by each student. View the outcome levels and colors in the sidebar. To filter scores for specific learning mastery levels, click the outcome level in the sidebar.

Score levels are calculated based on half of the outcome mastery threshold. For example, if the mastery threshold is 3 points, half of 3 is 1.5. Scores between 1.6 and 2.9 are counted near mastery, while scores less than 1.5 are considered remedial. Therefore, a student score of 2/3 would be above 1.5 and count as near mastery.

**Note:** Outcome colors and levels can be customized for your institution by your admin.

Select the preferred statistic from the drop-down menu next to the score indicator for each outcome.

The course average is calculated by adding all the earned scores then dividing the total of the mastery scores. The course mode is calculated by finding the score that occurs most often. The course median is calculated by sorting the scores in ascending order, then finding the middle score. These course statistics also display color-coded level results based on the outcome results.

**Note:** If an outcome is aligned to multiple items, the gradebook statistics will always generate from the student’s highest outcome score within that course.

# How do I view outcomes or student results individually in the Learning Mastery Gradebook?

<main id="bkmrk-the-learning-mastery"><article>The Learning Mastery Gradebook Individual View allows instructors to assess one student and one outcome at a time. Fully accessible to screen readers, this Gradebook view allows instructors to sort by section and outcome and contains all the same settings that are available in the [Learning Mastery Gradebook Default View](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Learning-Mastery-Gradebook-to-view-outcome/ta-p/775) (the view that shows all students in a course).

If you are not familiar with the settings and other options in the Learning Mastery Gradebook, click the feature links throughout this lesson to learn more about how the feature works in Default View.

Like all Gradebook tabs, Individual View is persistent. Therefore, once you switch the Gradebook to Individual View, the Gradebook will always display in Individual View until it is switched back to Default View.

# How do I manage outcome mastery scales in a course?

If enabled by your institution, you can manage outcome mastery scales for all outcomes in your course. Changes made to a mastery scale will apply to all rubrics with outcomes in your course that have not already been used for student assessment. Changes to mastery scales only apply to the course from where they are made.

If course-wide mastery scales have not been enabled in your course, mastery scale levels must be [managed independently in each outcome](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-outcome-for-a-course/ta-p/862).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-default-criterio"><div>- The default criterion mastery ratings display a 0-4 scale.
- If a rubric with aligned outcomes has been used to assess an assignment before the feature option is enabled, the assignment is not affected. However, any assignments not previously assessed by the rubric are affected if mastery scores are adjusted.

# How do I manage outcome mastery calculations in a course?

If enabled by your institution, you can manage outcome mastery calculations for all outcomes in your course. Changes made to a mastery calculation will apply to all rubrics with outcomes in your course that have not already been used for student assessment. Changes to mastery calculations only apply to the course from where they are managed.

If course-wide mastery calculations have not been enabled in your course, mastery scale calculations [must be managed independently](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-outcome-for-a-course/ta-p/862) in each outcome. To request course-level outcome calculations in your course, contact your Canvas administrator.

For assistance managing your mastery calculation, contact your Canvas administrator.

## Select Weighted Average

<div data-step-uuid="f93caa36-9d57-42a1-aebd-4fe0d59361e7" id="bkmrk--3"><div data-step-uuid="f93caa36-9d57-42a1-aebd-4fe0d59361e7"><div>[![Select Weighted Average](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/007/800/290/medium/56ebe0cd-3626-4d5a-b620-ed9f389d6bb2.png)](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/007/800/290/original/56ebe0cd-3626-4d5a-b620-ed9f389d6bb2.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>To average assessment item scores with a greater weight for the most recent assessment item, select the **Weighted Average** option \[1\].

The Weighted Average calculation splits the total percentage between the most recent assessment item and an average of all prior assessment items. For example, you can set the most recent submission to be weighted at 40% of the total and prior items to be weighted at 60% of the total.

Enter the percentage to use for the most recent result in the **Parameter** field \[2\]. You can also increase or decrease the parameter by using the **Arrow** icons \[3\]. The Parameter field accepts whole numbers between 1 and 99. By default, the parameter is set to 65%. The remaining amount is used to weigh prior scores.

In the **Example** section \[4\], the calculation updates based on your select parameter. The average is rounded to the next two decimals. If there is only one result, the single score will be displayed.

## Select Decaying Average

<div data-step-uuid="e9626119-da94-4ab9-9b08-69e8b7df835b" id="bkmrk--4"><div data-step-uuid="e9626119-da94-4ab9-9b08-69e8b7df835b"><div>![Select Decaying Average](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/087/587/original/05b32496-409a-4a8d-bfec-550dad6b68b7.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>To average assessment item scores with a greater weight for the most recent assessment item, select the **Decaying Average** option \[1\].

The Decaying Average calculation uses a formula to determine proficiency based on students' average scores, giving more weight to the most recent scored. To determine the weight given to the most recent score, the formula uses a decay rate. The higher the formula's decay rate, the more heavily the most recent assessment is weighted.

By default, the decay weight is set to 65% in the **Parameter** field \[2\]. However, you can adjust the rate to any percentage between 50% and 99% using the **Arrow** icons \[3\]. Between two assessments, the most recent assessment gets 65% weight and the first gets 35%. For each additional assessment, the sum of the previous score calculations decay by an additional 35%.

For example, a student has scores of 1, 2, 3, 4 (scores listed chronologically from oldest to most recent):

(1 × .35) + (2 × .65) = X

(X × .35) + (3 × .65) = Y

(Y × .35) + (4 × .65) = Z (this being the current standard score; 3.48)

## Select n Number of Times

<div data-step-uuid="c628d56e-6bef-4e9a-b629-1208622f9087" id="bkmrk--5"><div data-step-uuid="c628d56e-6bef-4e9a-b629-1208622f9087"><div>![Select n Number of Times](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/999/774/original/c50655be-24e4-4098-9d07-51e05e3317f9.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>To set a number of times that a student must meet or exceed mastery on a set amount of aligned items, select the **n Number of Times** option \[1\].

Enter the number of times mastery must be achieved in the **Parameter** field \[2\]. You can also increase or decrease the parameter by using the **Arrow** icons \[3\]. The Parameter field accepts numbers between 1 and 5.

Any scores that do not meet mastery are not used in the calculation.

## Select Most Recent Score

<div data-step-uuid="a1615201-9838-419b-a018-51ff41c54c85" id="bkmrk--6"><div data-step-uuid="a1615201-9838-419b-a018-51ff41c54c85"><div>![Select Most Recent Score](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/999/777/original/ca223c9f-a364-4744-b535-d42c55f157c8.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>To select the score for the recently graded item, select the **Most Recent Score** option \[1\].

# How do I manage rubrics in a course using Enhanced Rubrics?

As an instructor, you can create, edit, and delete rubrics in your course. Rubrics are used as grading criteria for students and can be added to assignments, quizzes, and graded discussions.

[Learn more about rubrics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-are-Rubrics/ta-p/35).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-rubrics-cannot-be-ed"><div>- Rubrics cannot be edited once they have been added to more than one assignment.
- In the Rubrics, both the horizontal and traditional views support a maximum of 5 criteria per criterion.
- When you delete a rubric, Canvas will remove the rubric from all associated assignments in the course and remove any existing scores and assessments given using the rubric.
- In the Gradebook, you can [bulk download rubric assessments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-download-rubric-assessments-using-Enhanced-Rubrics/ta-p/631359) and [import updated rubric assessments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-rubric-assessments-using-Enhanced-Rubrics/ta-p/631361).
- This lesson describes rubrics with Enhanced Rubrics feature option enabled. If the steps in this lesson do not match what is displayed in your account, learn how to [manage rubrics in the Classic Rubrics interface](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-rubrics-in-a-course-using-Enhanced-Rubrics/ta-p/609341).

# How do I add a rubric in a course using Enhanced Rubrics?

If you cannot find a rubric you want to use in your course, you can create a new rubric. Once you create a rubric, the rubric is saved in your course for future use. You can [add the rubric to an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058) and use the rubric for grading and adding comments. You can manage created rubrics in the [Rubrics page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-rubrics-in-a-course-using-Enhanced-Rubrics/ta-p/609341).

This lesson shows how to create a rubric in the Rubrics page. You can also create a rubric directly when adding a rubric to an assignment, and the process is the same.

Rubric criteria can include a point range or an individual point value.

# How do I align an outcome with a rubric in a course using Enhanced Rubrics?

You can align any outcome in your course to a rubric. Rubrics are used to help students understand expectations for an assignment and how their submissions will be graded. Outcomes can be aligned with a rubric for additional assessment and measurable performance.

To align an outcome, the outcome must already exist for your course. You can align outcomes created at the account level, or learn how to [create course outcomes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-outcome-for-a-course/ta-p/862).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-outcomes-can-be-adde"><div>- Outcomes can be added to rubrics, but rubrics cannot be added to outcomes.
- Rubrics cannot be edited once they have been added to more than one assignment in a course.
- This lesson describes rubrics with Enhanced Rubrics feature option enabled. If the steps in this lesson do not match what is displayed in your account, learn how to align an outcome with [a rubric in the Classic Rubric interface](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-align-an-outcome-with-a-rubric-in-a-course/ta-p/1130).

# How do I add a rubric to an assignment using Rubric Enhancements?

You can add a rubric to an assignment to help students understand expectations for the assignment and how you intend to score their submissions. Occasionally, rubrics are added to assignments when you have an outcome inside of the rubric that you would like to use for alignment purposes. In addition to assignments, rubrics can also be added to [graded discussions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment-using-Rubric-Enhancements/ta-p/null) and [quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment-using-Rubric-Enhancements/ta-p/null).

Rubrics can be added by finding an existing rubric in one of your courses, or by creating a new rubric.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-you-add-a-rubri"><div>- When you add a rubric to a moderated assignment, any associated outcome results display in the Learning Mastery Gradebook only after final grades are posted.
- Rubrics cannot be edited once they have been added to more than one assignment in a course.
- The Assignment Enhancements feature option must be enabled for students to view the updated rubric interface.
- This lesson describes rubrics with Rubric Enhancements feature option enabled. If the steps in this lesson do not match what is displayed in your account, learn how to [add a rubric to an assignment in the Classic Rubric interface](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058).

To create a copy of the rubric, click the **Confirm** button. Canvas will create a copied version of the rubric. The edited version will automatically replace the previous rubric in the assignment. If you use the rubric for grading, the rubric will update for all students in SpeedGrader. You may want to re-review student submissions that may have already been graded with the original rubric.

The copied rubric will also be saved in the [course rubrics list](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-rubrics-in-a-course/ta-p/1017) for future use.

**Note:** A rubric linked to multiple assignments will not be copied if the only change made is to use the rubric for assignment grading.

# How do I publish or unpublish an assignment as an instructor?

As an instructor, you can publish or unpublish an assignment in a course. Unpublished assignments are invisible to students and excluded from grade calculations. You can manage the state of all assignments on the Assignments Index Page, or you can manage each assignment individually.

**Note:** If you use Modules in your course and add an Assignment to a Module, please be aware that the state of the Module overrides the state of all module items. You may want to consider leaving Assignments unpublished until you are ready to publish the entire Module. For more information, learn about [publishing a module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-publish-or-unpublish-a-module-as-an-instructor/ta-p/571).

# What is the difference between a Canvas Assignment and a Canvas Activity?

Anything that appears in the Activity Stream is considered an activity. Some activities are graded (assignments) and others are not (events).

## Canvas Assignments vs. Canvas Activities

<div data-step-uuid="3CB44C67-91D1-4A9B-B78B-04D965C90258" id="bkmrk-"><div data-step-uuid="3CB44C67-91D1-4A9B-B78B-04D965C90258"><div>![Canvas Assignments vs. Canvas Activities](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/183/449/original/ceba4f8f-5082-4959-885a-0dabe1def342.jpg)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>Canvas makes a clear distinction between activities that students do for a grade (**Canvas Assignments**) and activities that students do to absorb new information, practice a new-found skill, or interact with a group to begin solving a problem (**Canvas Activities**).

Students may be asked to engage in a number of Canvas Activities before they work on a Canvas Assignment, which will be evaluated by the instructor or their peers.

When a Canvas Assignment is created, a new column is added to the gradebook (the "Not Graded" type being the only exception to this rule). Instructors and students will find that Canvas Assignments are automatically included on the Calendar, Assignments, and Syllabus pages. Also, Canvas Assignments can be evaluated with Rubrics and they can be aligned to course Outcomes.

In contrast, when a new Canvas Activity is created, no new column is added to the gradebook. Students will find Activities linked on their respective pages (i.e. published Quizzes will show up on the Quizzes page), but they will NOT appear on the Assignments and Syllabus pages or the Calendar (the one exception being a Calendar event, which does show up on the Syllabus page and on the Calendar).

At this time, Canvas Activities CANNOT be evaluated with Rubrics or aligned to course Outcomes.

Keep in mind the following when creating any kind of **Canvas Assignment**:

<div data-step-uuid="3CB44C67-91D1-4A9B-B78B-04D965C90258" id="bkmrk-instructors-can-set-"><div data-step-uuid="3CB44C67-91D1-4A9B-B78B-04D965C90258"><div><div>- Instructors can set a due date for Canvas Assignments. Canvas Assignments without a due date will be categorized as "Undated" in the Calendar and on the Syllabus page.
- Instructors can place Canvas Assignments into Assignment Groups and choose to weight final grades. Canvas will then calculate the final grade based on the percentages assigned to each Assignment Group.
- Points can be assigned to any Canvas Assignments except Non Graded Assignments. Non Graded Assignments will still appear on the Assignments and Syllabus pages but they will NOT appear in the Gradebook.
- Instructors can set an "Available from" date that will determine when students have access to a Canvas Assignment.
- Instructors can set an "Until" date that will determine when students can no longer submit an Assignment or take a Quiz.
- Canvas files have quota limits set for each user area: user (personal) files, course files, and group files. For instructors, any attachments added to an assignment description count against the course quota. For students, Files uploaded using the Rich Content Editor count toward your user storage quota. However, [files uploaded as an assignment submission](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-upload-a-file-as-an-assignment-submission-in-Canvas/ta-p/274) do not count toward your user quota. . Any attachments added for group assignment submissions are uploaded directly into the group files.
- Once a file has been uploaded as a submission, files cannot be deleted from the student's files. Additionally, file submissions cannot be deleted from the assignment. If a student needs to submit a new file, the student can re-submit the assignment.

</div></div></div></div>Additional options for **Assignments** and **Graded Discussions**:

- Assignments and Graded Discussions can be Peer Reviewed. Students use the same Rubrics and SpeedGrader™ interface that Instructors do to evaluate their peers' work.
- Assignments, Graded Discussions, and Quizzes can be created with varied due dates.

</div></div></div></div>Additional options for **Assignments** only:

<div data-step-uuid="3CB44C67-91D1-4A9B-B78B-04D965C90258" id="bkmrk-assignments-can-be-c"><div><div>- Assignments can be created that have No Submission. These work well for in-class presentations, daily participation points, or other optional activities used for extra credit.
- Assignments can be created that have Online Submissions. Students can submit work in the form of file or image uploads, URLs, text entry, Google Docs, or audio or video recordings or uploads.
- Assignments can also be delivered to the instructor On Paper. On Paper Assignments are usually evaluated by hand and grades are manually entered in the gradebook.

</div></div></div>## How do I include extra credit activities in the final grade?

Here are two ways of accounting for [extra credit](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-give-extra-credit-in-a-course/ta-p/1253):

<div data-step-uuid="E7D24B3E-7C71-4180-9943-95B78128F69C" id="bkmrk-if-you-want-to-add-a"><div><div>1. If you want to add an extra credit assignment to a specific Assignment Group, create a regular Assignment for zero points. When the submission comes in, add points manually in the gradebook.
2. Assignments with No Submission can also be used for extra credit. This works well for classroom duties, such as moderating a discussion or for in-class presentations. Enter points manually in the gradebook.

</div></div></div>## How can I turn a Collaboration, Conference, or Page into a Canvas Assignment?

<div data-step-uuid="7D4CD54B-ABFE-415E-A686-754A12DD1BFD" id="bkmrk-if-one-or-more-stude"><div data-step-uuid="7D4CD54B-ABFE-415E-A686-754A12DD1BFD"><div><div>- If one or more students are collaborating in a Google Doc to complete a project, they will be able to submit that Google Doc as an online Assignment. Instructors will be able to view the history of a Google Doc to see who has contributed to the document.
- If students are collaborating in Pages using the Rich Content Editor, they can submit the URL of their Page as an online Assignment. Instructors will be able to click on the **Page history** link to see who has contributed to the Page.

# What assignment types can I create in a course?

Canvas supports five assignment types: Assignments, Discussions, Quizzes, External Tools, and Not Graded.

As an instructor, you can select an assignment type when creating an [assignment shell](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-assignment-shell-in-an-assignment-group/ta-p/974). However, you can also create assignments within an assignment type by visiting each type's respective Index Page.

# What is the difference between assignment due dates and availability dates?

In addition to setting a due date for an assignment, instructors can specify a specific date range when students can submit the assignment. These dates are called availability dates. These dates are optional and can be set depending how you want to manage the assignment.

In Quizzes, availability dates may affect student submissions. For more details, view the [Quiz availability dates lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-make-a-quiz-available-before-or-after-the-due-date/ta-p/1241).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-beneath-the-due-date"><div>- Beneath the Due Date and Availability date fields, Canvas displays the time zone date and time according to context. If you manage courses in a time zone other than your local time zone and create or edit a due date for an assignment, the course and local times are displayed for reference.
- When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, only due dates are validated against closed grading periods. Availability dates do not apply.
- Depending on their notification settings, students will receive a notification if you publish an assignment even if the availability date has not been met.

Student assignments submitted after the due date will be marked as late in the Gradebook. Due Dates are not required in Canvas, but they are helpful in managing course workflow and deadlines.

You can also set a specific time as part of the due date. When you change a due time on an assignment, the seconds value defaults to 0 unless the minutes value is set to 59, in which case, the seconds are also set to 59. For example, if you set a due date of September 19 at 4:15 pm, any student submission made at or after September 19 at 4:15:01 is marked late.

If a date does not include a time, the listed date defaults to the [course’s default due time](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-a-course/ta-p/1037).

Availability dates can also be called lock dates.

**Available From \[1\]:** the date and time when the Assignments will become available to students. If a due date does not include a time, the listed date defaults to the [course's default due time](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-a-course/ta-p/1037). Students cannot view assignment content until after the Available from date has passed.

**Until \[2\]:** the date and time when students can no longer submit the assignment. If no time is set, this time defaults to 11:59 pm for the course time zone and the assignment will close at 12:00:00 am of the following day.

When the assignment is published, blank availability date fields allow the assignment to be submitted at any time throughout the entire course.

For instance, you may not want students to view the results of their quiz after the Until date. To make this change, you need to [edit the quiz options](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-set-in-a-quiz/ta-p/683) and restrict the quiz results.

## Working with Due and Availability Dates

Due Dates and Availability Dates can be used together, depending on how you want to manage the assignment. Here are some common scenarios you can create with dates. All examples include a Due Date, though they are not required for assignments.

### Create Open Assignment

<div data-step-uuid="51795b6c-95cb-4e55-845a-c7ebdb48396b" id="bkmrk--3"><div data-step-uuid="51795b6c-95cb-4e55-845a-c7ebdb48396b"><div data-step-uuid="0cdffa89-77e8-42f9-a872-26c13f05f0fa"><div>![Create Open Assignment](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/596/809/original/913ce269-e9b4-40e8-97d4-59ed3c217594.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>If you want to keep an assignment open throughout the entire course, do not set any availability dates. When no availability dates are set, the assignment can be submitted by all users until the course ends.

For example, if you want students to be able to view and submit the assignment at any time but reward those who submit by a due date of September 19 at 11:59 pm, only set the Due Date.

Canvas views and scores the assignment as follows:

<div data-step-uuid="51795b6c-95cb-4e55-845a-c7ebdb48396b" id="bkmrk-canvas-opens-the-ass"><div data-step-uuid="51795b6c-95cb-4e55-845a-c7ebdb48396b"><div data-step-uuid="0cdffa89-77e8-42f9-a872-26c13f05f0fa"><div><div>- Canvas opens the assignment to all student submissions on the first day of the course (according to term date and course time zone)
- In the Gradebook, the assignment is marked on time if submitted by September 19 at 11:59 pm (according to course time zone)
- In the Gradebook, the assignment is marked late if submitted on or after September 20 at 12:00:00 am (according to course time zone)
- Canvas closes the assignment to all student submissions on the last day of the course (according to term date and course time zone)

</div></div></div></div></div>**Note:** Due times set to 12am and 24:00 autocorrect to 11:59pm and 23:59.

### Limit Submission Available From Date

<div data-step-uuid="51795b6c-95cb-4e55-845a-c7ebdb48396b" id="bkmrk--4"><div data-step-uuid="51795b6c-95cb-4e55-845a-c7ebdb48396b"><div data-step-uuid="a68e40f5-f852-4155-8407-bae27108d5ba"><div>![Limit Submission Available From Date](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/596/811/original/5c5bede4-bfa4-4f30-ab0f-3e9399e290ef.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>If you want to keep students from viewing and submitting an assignment until a specific date, set an Available From date. Assignment content is not visible to students until after the Available from date and time passes. However, rubrics are visible to students regardless of availability dates.

For example, if you set an assignment as due on September 19 at 11:59 pm, but you do not want students to submit the assignment until September 9 at 12 am, set the Available From date as September 9 at 12 am.

- In the Gradebook, the assignment is on time if submitted by September 19 at 11:59 pm (according to course time zone)
- In the Gradebook, the assignment is marked late if submitted on or after September 20 at 12:00:00 am (according to course time zone)
- Canvas closes the assignment to all student submissions on the last day of the course (according to term date and course time zone)

The date you set depends on whether you want to accept late submissions. When the Until date has passed, students can still view or download their submissions and view any submission comments.

**No late submissions**—Some instructors do not allow any late submissions by setting the Until Date as the Due Date. For example, If you want to allow students to view the assignment at any time with a due date of September 19 at 11:59 pm, but you do not want to accept any late submissions, also set the Until Date as September 19 at 11:59 pm.

# How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?

As an instructor, you may have the option to update due dates and availability dates for multiple assignments and assessments at one time. Additionally, if you previously assigned differentiated due dates for sections, students, or groups, you can bulk update these due and availability dates. Learn more about the difference between [due dates and availability dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-is-the-difference-between-assignment-due-dates-and/ta-p/897).

**Note**: If a date does not include a time, the listed date defaults to the [course’s default due time](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-a-course/ta-p/1037).

# How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups?

You can weight final grades based on [assignment groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-assignment-group-in-a-course/ta-p/970). Selecting this option assigns a weight to each assignment group, not the assignments themselves. Within each assignment group, a percentage is calculated by dividing the total points a student has earned by the total points possible for all assignments in that group.

For example, if an assignment group included three assignments totaling 25 points, and a student's scores totaled 15 points, the student would earn 60% for the assignment group (15/25). This percentage is then multiplied by the selected group weight. Each assignment group calculation is added together to create the final grade.

For example, an instructor may create three assignment groups (A, B, and C) weighted at 20%, 50%, and 30%, respectively. The total score equation for a course with three assignment groups would be (percentage A x weight A) + (percentage B x weight B) + (percentage C x weight C) = final course percentage. If a student scores 75% in Group A, 98% in Group B, and 87% in Group C, the final score would be calculated as (.75 x .20) + (.98 x .50) + (.87 x .30) = .901, or 90.1%.

The final score calculation is changed if there are no graded items in an assignment group. In this case, all assignment groups with graded items will be divided by their combined weight, and the assignment groups without graded items are removed from the equation. If the previous example were adjusted so Group C contained no graded discussions, assignments, or quizzes, the calculation for final score would be \[(.75 x .20) + (.98 x .50)\] ÷ .70 = .9143, or 91.43%.

**Multiple Grading Periods**

If your course includes Multiple Grading Periods, you cannot change assignment group weights once an assignment group has assignments in a closed grading period. Additionally, weighted grading periods can also support weighted assignment groups in a course. The weight of an assignment group is applied to the grading period’s final grade, and each grading period’s final grade is added together to calculate the overall grade.

If you choose to use weighted assignment groups, separate assignment groups should be created for each grading period in the course. If an assignment group contains assignments that fall into multiple grading periods with different weighted percentages, grades may have unintended consequences.

**Note:** If an assignment group is weighted to zero percent, any course items added to the group will not count toward the final grade.

# How do I create rules for an assignment group?

Once you have added assignments to your assignment group, you can create rules for the entire assignment group. Assignment group rules determine how Canvas handles any exceptions you want to create for grade calculations. Assignment groups can be weighted or unweighted.

When using the lowest or highest score rule, an assignment group must include at least one score, plus the number of dropped scores and the number of assignments that should not be dropped. For instance, if you have a rule for dropping three scores and one Never Drop assignment, you would need five student scores in the assignment group to have all three lowest or highest scores dropped.

Canvas considers how the rule most negatively or positively affects the student's overall score. A rule to drop the lowest score will remove the assignment score(s) from a student's group percentage calculation that will result in the best possible score for that group. A rule to drop the highest score will remove the assignment score(s) from a student's group percentage calculation that will result in the lowest possible score for that group. Dropping both the lowest and the highest score(s) removes any outlying scores and calculates a student’s grade based upon the remaining middle scores.

Dropping scores is based on the impact to the total points for that assignment group. In some cases, the point value may be considered more important than percentage score when determining which assignment to drop. For example, if a student earns 100% on a 50-point assignment, 65% on a 100-point assignment, and 50% on a 24-point assignment, the student’s total score is 127 out of 174 points, or 73% for the assignment group. If an instructor sets a rule to drop the assignment with the lowest score in the assignment group, Canvas will drop the score that gives the student a better total score for the group. Even though the 50% score is the lowest percentage, the assignment with the 65% score will be dropped, giving the student a score of 62 out of 74 points, or an 84%, for the assignment group.

**Multiple Grading Periods**

If your course includes Multiple Grading Periods, you cannot change assignment group rules once an assignment group has assignments in a closed grading period.

Additionally, if an assignment group contains assignments that fall into multiple grading periods, grades may have unintended consequences when calculating assignment group rules.

# How do I create an online assignment?

You can create online assignments for students to submit their assignments through Canvas. Students can submit formatted text using the Rich Content Editor, website URLs, annotated files, or uploaded files. They can also submit audio or video recordings by recording new media or uploading existing media.

Files submitted to an online assignment do not count against the user's [storage quota](https://s3.amazonaws.com/tr-learncanvas/docs/CanvasFileQuotas.pdf).

When allowing file uploads as an online entry option, you can restrict certain types of files for assignment submissions. In the case of restricting assignments with an odd or unusual file type, try adding it to your course to confirm the file is accepted before requesting students to submit the file type. Compound file types are not supported.

If your institution has enabled Google Docs, the Google Apps LTI, or the Microsoft Office 365 LTI, students can upload files from their respective Google Drive or OneDrive account directly. (If only Google Docs are enabled for your institution, students must [connect to Google Drive](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/FRD-Colder-Storage/How-do-I-connect-to-Google-Drive-as-a-web-service-in-Canvas-as/td-p/261113) as a web service to submit an assignment as a Google Doc, Google Sheet, or Google Slide.) You can allow Google Drive and OneDrive files as submission types by selecting the File Uploads checkbox when creating an assignment.

**Google Drive File Types**

Students can submit Google Doc (.gdoc), Google Sheet (.gsheet), or Google Slide (.gslide) files. They can also use Google Docs to submit uploaded Word (.doc/.docx), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx), and PDF files not converted to Google Docs formatting.

When Google file types are submitted as an assignment submission, those files will convert to their Microsoft counterpart file types and appear in the submission as respective Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files. Canvas uses the conversion file type for submissions (and to render supported file types as DocViewer files in SpeedGrader), so if you want to restrict file types to only include Google file types, you must also include the file types for each respective Microsoft file type as well. For instance, if you want to only allow Google Slide submissions, you must include .pptx as a restrictive file type, otherwise Canvas will not show the .gslide files in the Google Doc tab.

**Note:** Canvas does not support file uploads larger than 5 GB. However, media uploads cannot exceed 500 MB.

# How do I add an assignment using an external app?

When you create an assignment, you can choose to add an external app (LTI tool) as a submission type. External apps must be [added in your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-external-app-in-a-course/ta-p/1082) before they can be added to an assignment.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-external-tool-su"><div>- The External Tool submission type does not support group assignments or peer reviews.
- Grade passback from external applications (LTI tools) to the Canvas Gradebook is not restricted by course start dates. When students have access to a course before a course start date, they can participate in assignments using some external applications (LTI tools), and grades for those assignments will populate the Gradebook.

<div id="bkmrk-you-can-also-create-"><div>- You can also create online Text Entry assignments where students can [embed Lucid documents](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-embed-a-Lucid-document-in-the-Rich-Content-Editor/ta-p/618229) in the Rich Content Editor.
- By including the Context.id.history variable in the [developer keys](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-manage-developer-keys-for-an-account/ta-p/249), Lucid can better track and manage copied courses, and duplicate assignments. Improving consistency and ease of use when reusing content. However, duplication of Lucid usage within the Rich Content Editor is not supported.

# How do I add or edit details in an assignment?

As you [create an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-assignment/ta-p/740), you add details for the assignment such as the description, file submission types, and point value.

If you [create an assignment shell](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-assignment-shell-in-an-assignment-group/ta-p/974), you must edit the assignment to add the assignment details.

Assignment settings are persistent to always remember and display the settings created or edited in the previous assignment in the course. Please note that this feature only applies to settings; it does not include assignment due dates.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-editing-an%C2%A0assi"><div>- When editing an [assignment from the index page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Assignments-Index-Page/ta-p/777), the submission types remain set to their previous settings.
- When [Multiple Grading Periods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-grading-periods-in-a-course/ta-p/1030) are enabled in a course, assignments are also respected against closed grading periods. Some attributes may not be available for editing.
- You may be able to [edit due and availability dates for multiple assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-bulk-update-due-dates-and-availability-dates-as-an/ta-p/1195) at one time from the Assignments Index page.

# How do I exclude an assignment from the course's final grades?

When creating an assignment, you can choose to not count assignments toward the final grade. This feature allows you to provide feedback for assignments without the assignment counting toward Gradebook calculations. By default, everyone in the course will have the grade excluded unless you specifically [assign course sections](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Colder-Storage/How-do-I-assign-an-assignment-to-a-course-section/td-p/251719), [assign individual students](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Colder-Storage/How-do-I-assign-an-assignment-to-an-individual-student/td-p/253736), or [assign course groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-an-assignment-to-a-course-group/ta-p/633) to the assignment.

Assignments that are excluded from the final grade include a banner at the top of the assignment page and the assignment details page. The Gradebook and student Grades page also includes an icon showing the grade has been excluded.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-this-feature-is-only"><div>- This feature is only available in assignments; it does not apply to graded discussions or quizzes.
- Excluding an attendance assignment from the final grade should only be managed from the [Roll Call Attendance tool settings](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Roll-Call-Attendance-tool-in-a-course/ta-p/1003).

# How do I publish or unpublish a page as an instructor?

As an instructor, you can publish or unpublish a page in a course. Unpublished content is invisible to students.

**Note**: If you use Modules in your course and add a Page to a Module, please be aware that the state of the Module overrides the state of all module items. You may want to consider leaving Pages unpublished until you are ready to publish the entire Module. For more information please see the [Modules Draft State lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-publish-or-unpublish-a-module-as-an-instructor/ta-p/571).

# How do I duplicate a page in a course?

You can duplicate a page in your course. When a page is copied, the word *Copy* is added to the end of the page name.

Duplicating a page defaults the copied page to an unpublished status. All items in the page are duplicated including the page name, content, and options.

If a page is used in Mastery Paths, the Mastery Paths setting is also enabled in the copied page. Additionally, any Mastery Paths page also displays in the Assignments index page.

If applicable, Pages displays Blueprint Course icons after the page is refreshed.

# How do I set a Front Page in a course?

The Course Home Page is the first view your students will see when they enter your course. For the Course Home Page, you can customize a page from your course Pages and have it display as the Course Home Page.

If you want to [change the Course Home Page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-Course-Home-Page/ta-p/1035) to a custom page, you must first set the page as the Front Page. The Front Page is a designation that shows Canvas which page can be used for the Course Home Page. Use this page to show a welcome message, links, images, or other information for students.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-before-setting-the-f"><div>- Before setting the Front Page, the page must be published.
- You can edit the Front Page, set a different page as the Front Page, or remove the Front Page.
- Before setting a Front page, the Pages link in Course Navigation will open to the Pages Index. However, once you have selected a Front Page, the Pages link will always open to the Front Page. To return to the [Pages Index](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Pages-Index-Page/ta-p/1005), click the **View All Pages** button.
- The Pages Front Page can also be set to display [recent course announcements](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-show-recent-announcements-in-the-Course-Home-Page/ta-p/983).

# How do I view the history of a page in a course?

When you can edit course pages, you can view the page history and see the date, time, and author of any changes made to the page. Page editors can also roll back the page content to a previous version of the page.

The images shown in this lesson are for the instructor view, but the same steps apply for students who have access to edit course pages.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-even-when-granted-ed"><div>- Even when granted editing access in page settings, students cannot roll back a prior version of a page within a course. They can only roll back page content for pages within student groups.
- HTML and CSS code snippet changes are not stored in the page history.

# How do I import SCORM files as a page?

If your institution has enabled the SCORM LTI, you can upload SCORM ZIP files [as assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-SCORM-files-as-an-assignment/ta-p/673) and as pages in your course (per the applicable package content). SCORM is a technical standard for many e-learning products and is often used to create course content. Once enabled, the SCORM Link will appear in the Course Navigation menu. SCORM packages are imported as External Tool Assignment submissions.

To enable your SCORM content as a stand-alone HTML site, you may need to re-export your SCORM content.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-scorm-lti-must-b"><div>- The SCORM LTI must be enabled in External Apps at the account level before it can be used in courses. If you are an administrator, please contact your Customer Success Manager for assistance.
- If you delete a SCORM page in Pages, you can still view the uploaded page by navigating to SCORM in Course Navigation. However, if you delete the uploaded page in SCORM, the page is also deleted from all other applicable Canvas locations.
- Canvas supports the following versions of SCORM: SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 (2nd, 3rd, and 4th Edition).
- SCORM is not available in beta or test environments of Canvas.
- If a SCORM package is not updated to require signed launch links, users see an "ApiUseSignedLaunchLinks is true, but link was not signed" message when attempting to load their content instead of a media player.
- If SCORM packages are not updated to require signed launch links, the encrypted launch links can be copied, however, they are only valid for a few seconds after they're initially requested and users see a "Token has expired" or "Player could not load" message.
- Before importing SCORM files from Commons, make sure SCORM is configured correctly in the target course. The correct setup ensures that the SCORM references remain valid and functional after the import.

# How do I add users to a course?

You may have already added user enrollments to your course in the [Course Setup Checklist](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Course-Setup-Checklist/ta-p/1139). However, you can invite users to join your course at any time if the Add People button is available in the People page.

If your institution uses SIS Imports, you do not need to add any users who are part of your institution's records for the course. They will be added to the course by your admin.

**Course Invitations**

When an enrollment is manually added to the course, Canvas generates a course invitation once the course is published. The user must accept the course invitation to participate in the course. Until the user accepts the course invitation, the user's status will display as pending. Note that when a user receives an enrollment invitation for a custom role, the invitation displays the name of the base role.

In Canvas accounts, admins can allow Open Registration, which allows you to add users to a course even if the users do not yet have a Canvas account. The user will create an account as part of accepting the course invitation. However, if Open Registration is not enabled, you can only add users to your course who already have an account in Canvas.

If your institution is part of a trust account, searching for a user may display a search result associated with another institution. Trust accounts allow users to be added with the same credentials across multiple institutions.

Users are not sent a course invitation until the course start date. (The start date is commonly the term date, unless the term is being overridden by a specific course or section date in Course Settings.) Additionally, courses must be published for students to receive course invitations.

Users invited to a course in an Observer role do not receive course invitations if they already have a Canvas account. Observer enrollments without a Canvas account must create an account before they can log in to the course.

**User Roles**

When manually adding users to a course, you can add a user into any available role, including custom roles as created by your admin. If you are not sure about what permissions are allowed for a specific role in your institution, please contact your Canvas admin.

Standard roles include Teaching Assistants (TAs), Observers, and Designers:

<div id="bkmrk-tas-provide-course-s"><div><div>- TAs provide course support and have some or all of the same permissions granted to instructors.
- Observers can be linked to a student and view student progress in the course. Observers can include parents, guardians, and/or mentors.
- Designers can add other users to the course, access course content, create discussions, announcements, assignments, quizzes, and other content filled features. This role is appropriate for instructional designers, instructional coaches, or program managers who work with instructors to design their courses.

</div></div></div>**Multiple Sections**

If you want to add the same person to different sections, you can enroll them in one section and then [add them to additional sections later](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-edit-sections-for-an-enrollment-in-a-course/ta-p/895).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-course-invitations-a"><div>- Course invitations are not sent until the course is published.
- Enrollments may be added by your institution's student information system (SIS). If an enrollment includes an SIS ID, you cannot add an enrollment to the course.
- Adding users through the Add People button is a course permission. If you cannot add a user to your course, your institution has restricted this feature.

In the text field \[2\], enter the email address for the user. You can copy and paste multiple users at one time, such as from a comma separated value (CSV) file, by placing a comma or line break between users.

When searching by **email address**, the user's institution-assigned email address should be used whenever possible. For the majority of institutions, each user should have an email address associated with the user's account and may be the same as the user's login ID.

Instructors can add users through one of several formats, which also support user names:

</div></div></div></div></div>Email addresses can be enclosed by less than ( &lt; ) or greater than ( &gt; ) symbols, although it is not required.

### Search by Login ID

In the text field \[2\], enter the login ID for the user. You can copy and paste multiple login IDs at one time by placing a comma or line break between login IDs.

When searching by **login ID**, you should use the login ID format found in the Canvas login page for your institution (e.g. username, student ID, etc.). The example format in the login ID field may differ from the format used in your institution. If you are not sure how to format users for your institution in the text field, please contact your Canvas admin.

Login IDs do not support entries that include a user's name; any entered content in the Login ID search field will be included as the search content.

To search for users by SIS ID, click the **SIS ID** radio button \[1\]. In the text field \[2\], enter the SIS ID for the user. You can copy and paste multiple SIS IDs at one time by placing a comma or line break between SIS IDs.

SIS IDs do not support entries that include a user's name; any entered content in the SIS ID search field will be included as the search content.

**Note:** The SIS ID button only displays for users with SIS permissions.

Once the user has accepted the course invitation, you can interact with the user in the course. You can also send messages to the user via Conversations.

# How do I resend student invitations to a course?

<main id="bkmrk-if-a-user-has-been-m"><article>If a user has been manually added to a course but has not yet accepted the course invitation after a period of time, you can resend the course invitation. You must allow at least 24 hours before resending a course invitation.

**Note:** Users are not sent a course invitation until the course participation start date. (The start date is commonly the term date, unless the term is being overridden by a specific course or section participation date in Course Settings.) Additionally, courses must be published for students to receive course invitations.

# How do I view a context card for a student in a course?

You can click a student's name anywhere in Canvas to view a summary of the student's progress in the course. Context cards do not apply outside a course, such as in the Conversations Inbox.

Student context cards provide insights and context about the student. Context cards are meant to be a simplified overview of a student’s progress. The context is generated from grades in the Gradebook and standard page view and participation activity in Course Analytics. Mobile data is not included unless a user accesses Canvas directly through a mobile browser, or if a user accesses content within the mobile app that redirects to a mobile browser.

**Context Card Users**

Context cards only apply to users with student roles; they are not supported for user names where the user is not a student (e.g. observer, TA, or other instructor). Clicking links for non-student roles will always direct to the user’s details page or profile page (if your institution has enabled the Profiles feature).

**Context Card Link Locations**

This lesson shows how to view a context card for a student from the People page. Other areas where student names display in courses include announcement and discussion replies, the Gradebook, and the Moderate page for moderated assignments. Current exceptions include links in groups and student links in the Course Analytics page, which link to the student’s individual analytics page.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-the-final-grade-o"><div>- If the final grade override feature is enabled, the override grade will display as the student's current grade.
- If a section has been inactivated via SIS, an Inactive label displays next to the section name.

<div data-step-uuid="771401ab-5b73-4330-8b1c-3452de03e9d9" id="bkmrk--4"><div data-step-uuid="771401ab-5b73-4330-8b1c-3452de03e9d9"><div>![View Grading Overview](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/628/329/original/9226e7fd-2750-459d-aa17-c4dbaa2e4930.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>The grading section gives an overview of the student's course grade. The student's **current posted grade** displays as shown in the Gradebook according to grading scheme \[1\].

For courses using Multiple Grading Periods, the context card only displays the grade for the current grading period. *Note that the grading period view in the Gradebook does not influence the grade display;* the student context card always displays the current grading period, regardless of whether you view a prior or future grading period.

The card also shows the number of **missing assignments** \[2\] and **late assignments** \[3\]. Missing assignments are based on [course analytics](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-Course-Analytics/ta-p/968) data, which generates data for online submission assignments in Canvas. For submissions not submitted online, assignment calculations may not be entirely accurate as they are attempted based on the assignment’s grade and when the assignment was graded. Late assignments are based on assignment due date .

In the **Last Graded Items** section \[4\], you can view a maximum of the student's **last 10 recently graded assignments** along with the assignment’s grade, shown according to grading scheme. If the grading scheme does not fit in the window, the grades default to points. To view the name of an assignment, hover over a graded item \[5\]. To view submission details for the assignment, click the graded item.

<div data-step-uuid="df9ba9cb-9d8d-430d-9b03-26d3dd7d064c" id="bkmrk--5"><div data-step-uuid="df9ba9cb-9d8d-430d-9b03-26d3dd7d064c"><div>![View Activity Overview](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/628/331/original/67648f1e-1ca6-4278-86c1-3c634092740e.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>The activity section provides an overview of the student's participation compared to other students in the course. It is not meant to be an exact comparison and is based on the standard deviation of the student's participation \[1\] and page views \[2\] in the course.

The activity level is indicated by stars that represent no participation, low participation, moderate participation, and high participation. Students with no page views receive zero stars. Students whose participation falls in the lowest quartile of course activity receive one star. Students whose participation falls in the middle two quartiles receive two stars. Students whose participation falls in the top quartile receive three stars.

Participation information may help you quickly identify at-risk students in your course. For instance, a student with both high participation and high page views is probably a high-performance student who submits coursework and participates in course discussions, assignments, and other activities. A student with no participation or page views is most likely not engaged in the course and may need some assistance or participation encouragement.

**Note:** More accurate details about course activity can be viewed by accessing the student's analytics page or user details page, both of which may be available to you to access from the Student overview section of the context card.

# How do I limit a user to only interact with other users in the same course section?

If your course includes multiple sections, you can limit users in a section to only see users enrolled in the same section. This option is useful when several sections have been [cross-listed into a single course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-cross-list-a-section-in-a-course-as-an-instructor/ta-p/1261).

You can set limitations when [adding users to a course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-users-to-a-course/ta-p/1119), or after students have already been added to the course.

Limiting students to interact by section only affects Collaborations, People, and Conversations. When enrolling instructors and TAs, section limitations allow those users to grade students in their same section(s).

Discussion topics and Pages are not affected by section limitations and can be viewed by any student. These feature areas could be restricted by creating content in course groups.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-option-to-limit-"><div>- The option to limit a user displays even if there is only one section in the course.
- You can also [hide the section column from students on the People page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-sections-from-students-on-the-People-page/ta-p/391281) to prevent students from viewing course sections.
- Teachers and TAs who are not limited to a specific Section, still receive notifications for new Announcements sent to other course Sections.

# How do I edit user roles in a course?

Once [users have been added to your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-users-to-a-course/ta-p/1119), you may be able to edit the enrollment type for a user in the course through the People page. This feature allows you to make modifications to course enrollment types without having to delete the existing enrollment. Role edits do not require the user to accept a new course invitation.

If a user was added to the course with multiple roles, selecting a new role overwrites all the user's current enrollments with the new edited role. If a user is enrolled in multiple sections, the edited role applies to all sections.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-if-an-observer-is-li"><div>- If an observer is linked to a student, you cannot edit an observer role. Learn how to [manage linked students](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-link-a-student-to-an-observer-in-a-course/ta-p/1254).
- Enrollments may be added by your institution's student information system (SIS). If an enrollment includes an SIS ID, you cannot edit an enrollment in the course. Additionally, editing a user role is a course permission. If you cannot edit user roles in your course, your institution has restricted this feature.
- For more information regarding permissions, see the [Canvas Course Role Permissions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Course-Role-Permissions/ta-p/387080) resource document.

# How do I edit sections for an enrollment in a course?

Once [users have been added to your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-users-to-a-course/ta-p/1119), you may be able to edit their course section from the People page. This feature allows you to make modifications to course sections without having to delete the section enrollment.

If a user has not already accepted the course enrollment, editing the course section still requires the user to accept the course invitation. However, if a user has already accepted the initial course enrollment, editing a section does not require the user to accept a new course invitation.

If a user was added to multiple sections in the course with the same user role, adding a section or editing a current section retains the user role given with the course enrollment. However, if the user has multiple user roles, a section edit is associated with the last user role given to the user.

# How do I deactivate an enrollment in a course?

You may be able to deactivate an enrollment in your course within your course Settings in Canvas. An inactive enrollment retains prior activity in a course but does not allow the student to access course content. This status can be used for students who do not pay tuition or drop the course at a future date. Inactive students do not appear in any messaging lists within the course and cannot be added to a group. Grades for inactive students still display in the Gradebook and can be edited like other students.

Any previous course activity for the student is not removed from the course. If a student had previously participated in a discussion or group before being deactivated, the inactive status displays next to that student's name in discussions and groups. However, students can view the student's name but will not know the student is inactive.

To see course participation for an inactive enrollment compared to other enrollment types, view the [Canvas Enrollment Status Comparison resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Enrollment-Status-Comparison/ta-p/387055).

**Note**: Enrollments may be added by your institution's student information system (SIS). If an enrollment includes an SIS ID, you cannot deactivate an enrollment from the course. Additionally, deactivating enrollments is a course permission. If you cannot deactivate enrollments in your course, your institution has restricted this feature.

# How do I conclude an enrollment in a course?

If a course is defined by term, course, or section dates, all enrollments are automatically concluded as defined by the term, course, or section end date. A [course can also be manually concluded](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-conclude-a-course-at-the-end-of-a-term-as-an-instructor/ta-p/690) at any time, which affects all enrollments.

However, as an instructor you may need to conclude an individual enrollment before the end date. Concluding an enrollment allows the user to view a course in read-only mode. This means the user will be able to access the course but not be able to submit assignments, participate in discussions, or send/receive conversation messages in the course. The user's analytics will still be available. Once a course is concluded, if you do not want students to view prior course content, you can [restrict students from viewing prior courses](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-restrict-student-access-to-a-course-before-or-after-the/ta-p/1269).

You can also [restore an enrollment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-restore-a-concluded-enrollment-in-a-course/ta-p/930) if necessary.

To see course participation for a concluded enrollment as compared to other enrollment types, view the [Canvas Enrollment Status Comparison resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Enrollment-Status-Comparison/ta-p/387055).

**Note**: Enrollments may be added by your institution's student information system (SIS). You can conclude enrollments that include an SIS ID, but you cannot delete an enrollments with an SIS ID. Additionally, concluding enrollments is a course permission. If you cannot conclude enrollments in your course, your institution has restricted this feature.

# How do I remove an enrollment from a course?

You may be able to remove an enrollment in your course within your course Settings in Canvas. Removing an enrollment deletes the enrollment from your account, but admins can view these enrollments as deleted enrollments in account-level reports. Users removed from a course do not have any record of participation in the course. You may want to [conclude](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-conclude-an-enrollment-in-a-course/ta-p/744) or deactivate the enrollment instead.

To see course participation for a deleted enrollment as compared to other enrollment types, view the [Canvas Enrollment Status Comparison resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Enrollment-Status-Comparison/ta-p/387055).

**Notes:**

# How do I link a student to an observer in a course?

If you have the correct permissions from your administrator, you can link a student to an observer from a course's People page. When an observer is linked to a student, the observer can observe the student's activities and grades in the course.

Depending on permissions, you may also be able to link a student to an observer by [using a pairing code](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-generate-a-pairing-code-for-an-observer-as-an/ta-p/1217). Using a pairing code links the observer to the student in all of the student's courses.

# How do I generate a pairing code for an observer as an instructor?

If you have the correct permissions from your administrator, you may be able to generate a pairing code that an observer can use to link to a student. For more information on pairing codes, view the [Pairing Codes - Frequently Asked Questions resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Pairing-Codes-FAQ/ta-p/388738).

An observer can enter this pairing code in [their User Settings Observing tab](https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10915-4144237751). Linked observers can can view and participate in certain elements of the student's Canvas courses.

Depending on permissions, you also may be able to [link a student to an observer from the People page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-link-a-student-to-an-observer-in-a-course/ta-p/1254). Linking from the People page will only allow the observer to view information from the course where they were linked.

**Note:** Pairing codes can only be generated from the web version of Canvas. Pairing codes cannot be generated from the Canvas mobile apps.

# How do I add a module?

Modules are used to organize course content by weeks, units, or whatever organizational structure works for your course. With modules, you are essentially creating a one-directional linear flow of what you would like your students to do. Once you create modules, you can [add content items](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-course-content-as-module-items/ta-p/1157), [assign the module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-a-module-to-individual-sections-or-students/ta-p/609337), or [add requirements](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-requirements-to-a-module/ta-p/1131).

[Learn more about Modules](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-are-Modules/ta-p/6).

**Note:** If the Course Home Page is set to modules, modules can be added and managed directly from the Course Home Page.

# How do I publish or unpublish a module as an instructor?

As an instructor, you can publish or unpublish a module in a course. Unpublished modules are invisible to students.

Modules control the entire flow of your course and its content. When you add items to a Module, please be aware that an unpublished module overrides the state of individual module items.

For instance, if you add a published Discussion to an unpublished Module, students cannot view the Discussion on the Modules page. However, they will still be able to see the Discussion in other areas of Canvas, such as the Syllabus and the Calendar, but they will not be able to open or participate in the Discussion. Please be aware of these potential scenarios when adding course content to a Module.

Modules also supports publishing or unpublishing files, in addition to setting a file as restricted. The restricted status applies to files only and can hide files from students. However, please be aware that restricted files may still be visible to students when they are added to modules. Learn more about [restricting files in Canvas](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/How-do-I-restrict-files-and-folders/ta-p/644850).

**Note:** If you are unable to publish or unpublish a module, you may not have the 'Course Content - Edit' permission. To request this permission, please contact your institution's Canvas administrator.

# How do I duplicate a module?

You can duplicate assignments, graded discussions, and pages in a module within a course. When a module is copied, the word *Copy* is added to the end of the module.

Duplicating a module defaults the copied module to an unpublished status. [Assignment duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-an-assignment/ta-p/636), [page duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-a-page-in-a-course/ta-p/630), and [discussion duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-a-discussion-in-a-course/ta-p/756) are currently supported in modules. Please note the exceptions associated with each item type.

Items duplicated in the Modules page follow the same behavior as a new item created in a module. The item displays in the Modules page but is also visible in the item's respective index page. All assignments, pages, and graded discussions within the copied module also include the word Copy at the end of the module item name.

**Duplication Limitations**

The following limitations apply when duplicating a module:

<div id="bkmrk-quizzes%E2%80%94only-quizzes"><div><div>- **Quizzes**—Only quizzes created with New Quizzes are supported for duplication within modules. If a module contains a quiz created with the classic Canvas quiz tool, the option to duplicate a module does not display in the module menu. Modules can be duplicated by removing the classic quiz from the module. Classic quizzes are indicated by an empty Quiz icon; New quizzes are indicated by a filled Quiz icon.
- **External Tool (LTI) Assignments**—A module cannot be duplicated if it contains an external tool (LTI) assignment. If a module contains an external tool assignment, the option to duplicate a module does not display in the module menu. Modules can be duplicated by removing the external tool assignment from the module. The only exception to LTI tools is New Quizzes.

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-applicable%2C-the-m"><div>- If applicable, the Modules page displays any Blueprint Course icons after the page is refreshed.
- The content in a MasteryPath module can be duplicated, but the duplicate will not retain the MasteryPath.
- If you have set prerequisites or unlock dates for modules, they are not included as part of the duplicate.

# How do I copy a module to another course?

As an instructor, you can copy a module in a course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled. You can also [send a module to other instructors at your institution](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-send-a-module-to-another-instructor/ta-p/398244) as well as [copy individual module items to other courses](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-a-module-item-to-another-course/ta-p/398241). When you copy a module, any assets within that module (images, files, etc.) will be included in your module copy.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-to-share-course-cont"><div>- To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.
- Shared content does not count against course or user quotas.
- If you copy the same module to the same course more than once, the module you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied module.

# How do I add prerequisites to a module?

When you set a module prerequisite, the module is locked until a student completes the required items in the prerequisite module. However, if the prerequisite module does not have completion [requirements](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-requirements-to-a-module/ta-p/1131), the module will not be locked by adding prerequisites and students will be able to access the module whenever.

When selecting a prerequisite module, you can only choose from previous modules. You may need to [reorder modules](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-move-or-reorder-a-module/ta-p/1150) to correct prerequisite availability.

**Note**: You can only add prerequisites if you have added at least one module.

# How do I add requirements to a module?

When you add requirements to a [module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-are-Modules/ta-p/644763), students must complete the defined requirements within the module before the module will be marked complete. You can require students to complete all requirements in the module, or have them choose one item to fulfill a specific requirement.

Note that you cannot add requirements until you have added module items: you can add [add content items](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-course-content-as-module-items/ta-p/1157) such as assignment types, pages, and files; [text headers](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-text-header-as-a-module-item/ta-p/1208); [external tools](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-external-tool-as-a-module-item/ta-p/1146); and [external URLs](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-external-URL-as-a-module-item/ta-p/967).

You can choose to allow students to complete requirements in any order, or you can require them to move through the module sequentially. A requirement to move through module items sequentially relates to the order items are listed on the Modules page, not the order displayed in Module Settings. If you have multiple iterations of an module item, you can set different requirements for each item.

Module requirements are displayed in the order that they exist as module items. You may need to [reorder module items](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-move-or-reorder-a-module-item/ta-p/1126) so that the requirements are set correctly.

You can also set up [prerequisite modules](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-prerequisites-to-a-module/ta-p/1123) and require students to complete each module in order.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-choose-to-set"><div>- If you choose to set the requirement type as completing only one option, and you want to use it with graded items, please note that all assignments with their current grades are reflected in the Gradebook. For instance, if you want a module to require a student to submit one of three assignments, the two assignments that aren’t submitted still factor into the Gradebook as unsubmitted. You may choose to manually configure the unsubmitted assignments appropriately, either by using the differentiated assignments feature or excusing the assignments in the Gradebook.
- When using requirements in a module the late policy does not affect students moving forward in the module.

- **Mark as done**: Students must mark the assignment or page as done before they can progress to the next item. This option also synchronizes with the student List View Dashboard and completes the item for the student. However, this behavior is only supported when the item with this requirement is located in one module. Adding the same item within multiple modules is not supported.
- **Contribute to the page**: Students must post a reply to a non-graded discussion or contribute content to a page (make sure students are allowed to edit pages in the course).
- **Submit the assignment**: Students must submit an assignment, post a reply to a graded discussion, or submit a quiz. (Canvas does not allow you to manually enter a grade to fulfill this requirement; a submission must be made by the student.)
- **Score at least**: Students must meet a minimum submission score. With this option, an additional field appears where you can enter the minimum score that students must earn. This option is available for all graded assignment types, and the grade must be posted in order for the student to progress to the next module.

# How do I assign a module to individual sections or students?

After [adding a module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-module/ta-p/1151), you can assign a module to individual students or sections.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-a-student-is-assi"><div>- If a student is assigned only a specific item within a module and not the entire module, they cannot view any items in the module. However, they can view the item on applicable pages. For example, if the module item is an assignment, page, or quiz, it can be viewed on the Assignments, Pages, or Quizzes page respectively.
- If a student is assigned an entire module, but not specific items within that module, students can only view the items they are assigned.
- The "Assign To" settings is not supported in the Teacher apps.

# How do I lock a module?

You can set modules to be locked until a given date by editing module settings. While a module is locked, students can see the module titles and module item names, but they cannot access the module items until after the lock date has passed.

**Note:** For students to view a module after a lock until date, the module must be published in your course.

# How do I add course content as module items?

You can add new or existing content items in Canvas to a module. You can also add an item to multiple modules, or multiple iterations of an item to one module.

When you add items to a Module, please be aware that the status of the Module overrides the state of the individual module items. You may want to consider leaving all Module items in an unpublished state until you are ready to publish the entire Module. Learn more about [publishing or unpublishing a module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-publish-or-unpublish-a-module-as-an-instructor/ta-p/571).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-canvas-will-accept-m"><div>- Canvas will accept most media files as uploads. However, not all media files can be played within Canvas.
- Uploaded files are automatically published and also display in Course Files. When adding a restricted file type to a Module, please be aware that restricted files act as published files and may be viewable to students. Learn more about [restricting files in Canvas](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/How-do-I-restrict-files-and-folders/ta-p/644850).
- Numerous module items may affect performance. Modules supports up to 100 module items in the [student progress page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-modules-to-view-the-progress-of-students-in-a/ta-p/973).
- If your course requires you to set usage rights for a file, you must set the usage right before you can publish the file in a module.

# How do I add an external URL as a module item?

You can add a URL link to your modules.

When adding an External URL to a module, the dialog box includes an option to load the URL in a new browser tab. When this option is selected, Canvas will display the page to students outside of Canvas. If the External URL is part of a module requirement, Canvas will also register the progression so that the module footer will appear and allow the student to advance to the next module item.

When this option is not selected, the content is embedded in an iFrame for easy viewing. However, some sites have disabled embedding and require users to open the content in a new window. Users can open the link in a new window by right-clicking the link and selecting the option to view in a new window or tab.

**Note**: Numerous module items may affect performance. Modules supports up to 100 module items in the [student progress page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-modules-to-view-the-progress-of-students-in-a/ta-p/973).

# How do I duplicate a module item?

You can duplicate assignments, graded discussions, and pages within a [module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-are-Modules/ta-p/644763). When a module item is copied, the word *Copy* is added to the end of the item name.

Duplicating a module item defaults the copied item to an unpublished status. [Assignment duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-an-assignment/ta-p/636), [page duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-a-page-in-a-course/ta-p/630), and [discussion duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-a-discussion-in-a-course/ta-p/756) are currently supported in modules. Please note the exceptions associated with each item type.

Items duplicated in the Modules page follow the same behavior as a new item created in a module. The item displays in the Modules page but is also visible in the item's respective index page.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-external-links%2C-quiz"><div>- External links, quizzes, headers, and files cannot be duplicated individually. However, they can be duplicated as part of [duplicating an entire module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-a-module/ta-p/676).
- Quizzes created using the classic Canvas quiz tool cannot be duplicated.

# How do I use modules to view the progress of students in a course?

Within Modules, you can view the progress of your students and see how they are progressing through the course.

Module progress is determined by the students completing required elements in the module. If you don't set up any requirements, you won't be able to track your students' progress within each module. Required elements may include requiring the students viewing a page, submitting an assignment, or earning a minimum score on an assignment or quiz. For more information please see the lessons about [setting up prerequisites](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-prerequisites-to-a-module/ta-p/1123) and [adding requirements](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-requirements-to-a-module/ta-p/1131).

**Note:** Numerous module items may affect performance. Modules supports up to 100 module items in the student progress page.

# How do I view course content offline as an HTML file as an instructor?

If your institution has enabled offline content, you can view your course offline as an HTML file. You can download the HTML file from the Modules page. Currently HTML files can only be generated in the browser version of Canvas and are only supported on a computer.

HTML offline content is for offline viewing only; you cannot interact with course content directly, such as completing an assignment or viewing any submissions. In the HTML file, you can view assignment details, availability dates, and point values. Discussions and quizzes only include the description. All discussion replies (graded or ungraded) are considered submissions and must be viewed online. Additionally, you can view any embedded media files in the HTML file. If a link can only be accessed online, the link includes an external icon identifying the content as online only.

Course content export packages include all course files, pages, and embedded files added to a module and are viewable as long as the user has permission. Content items locked by modules or by date are not included in offline content and show that the content is not available. Export packages do not include media files embedded from course files.

Offline downloads include all content from the course at the time of the download. You will need to download the course each time you want to view updated course content. After the initial download, the export page shows the history of each download, and the Modules page shows the last time the content was exported.

**User Guidelines**

When exporting course content, all users are notified that they may not reproduce or communicate any of the content in the course, including exported files, without your institution's prior written permission. Please be aware of your institution's online user agreement guidelines, which may include specific course content requirements for instructors.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-if-your-course-home-"><div>- If your Course Home Page is set to Modules, you can export course content from the Course Home Page.
- Offline content cannot be downloaded once a course is concluded.
- If your Modules page does not display the **Export Course Content** button, confirm that you can [allow course content to be exported](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-allow-course-content-to-be-exported-as-an-offline-HTML/ta-p/893) using the Offline Course checkbox in Course Settings. If your course does not include this checkbox, this feature has not been enabled for your course. However, you can view the Feature Options tab in Course Settings to see if ePub Exporting has been allowed for your course instead. The ePub Exporting feature option allows you and your students to [download course content as an ePub file](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/FRD-Colder-Storage/How-do-I-view-course-content-offline-as-an-ePub-file-as-an/td-p/255898).

# How do I use Mastery Paths in course modules?

Mastery Paths allows you to customize learning experiences for students based on performance. You can enable Mastery Paths to automatically assign coursework based on the score achieved for a previous assignment. This provides multiple opportunities to show and achieve mastery in a course.

Mastery Paths is based on [differentiated assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-differentiated-assignments-with-different-due/ta-p/715), which allows targeted learning activities to be assigned to different users and sections. With Mastery Paths, assignments are differentiated to individual students automatically and no additional work is required aside from grading student assignments as usual. After the initial assignment has been graded (either manually or automatically), the student’s score designates which conditional item(s) they are assigned as a learning path. For example, a learning path can assign one set of items to students who score at or above 70% and another set to students who score below 70%. If Student A scores an 70% or higher, they can access Page 1, Page 2, Assignment 1, and Assignment 2. You can require Student A to read both pages and complete at least one assignment. If Student B scores less than 70%, they can access Page 1, Page 3, Page 4, and Assignment 1. You can require Student B to read all three pages and complete the assignment in order to achieve mastery of the subject.

When creating Mastery Paths, source assignments and all differentiated course items should be created, and differentiated items should be designated as conditional items before publishing the course.

**Weighted Grading**

If you use weighted grading in your course, additional course work may affect student's total grades. However, grade calculations are based on the assignments assigned to and completed by the student; students are not penalized for any assignments that are not assigned to them. If you are concerned about grade variances with point values, you may want to review the conditional assignments assigned to each Mastery Path and try to balance out grading totals in each path. Additionally you could evaluate student progress and add individual students to assignments as necessary that they can complete to improve their grade.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-mastery-paths-se"><div>- The Mastery Paths setting can be [managed in your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-a-course/ta-p/1037) if the setting has been [enabled by your institution](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-an-account/ta-p/194).
- If your institution uses a student information system (SIS) and requires due dates for assignments, any Mastery Paths assignments assigned to one or more students are currently not validated. Please use with caution when syncing to your SIS.
- If your course has a large number of students and/or if a Mastery Path has a large number of associated conditional items, students may experience a delay before they are assigned a path.
- Currently Mastery Paths does not support association with outcomes.
- Files, External URLs, and External Tool module items cannot be used as conditional items in Mastery Paths.
- If you choose to include a page in Mastery Paths, the page will only be accessible from within Mastery Paths and not in the course Pages page.

Mastery Paths can be created from module structures in existing courses or new course content.

Indenting module items can be used to help organize the module's structure and visually show which items should be conditional items in a Mastery Path.

Graded assignments, graded discussions, or graded quizzes may be used as the source content for a Mastery Path. A student's source content score determines which conditional item(s) they are assigned.

Any course item except for practice quizzes and ungraded surveys may be designated as a conditional item in a Mastery Path.

Conditional content items are selected from the list of module items you have already added to the module. These items are then assigned to specific students through conditional rules in three scoring ranges. After the source content assignment has been graded (either manually or automatically), the student’s score designates which conditional item(s) they are assigned as a learning path.

## Assign Items to Mastery Paths

Once conditional content items have been added to a Mastery Paths, the [conditional assignments must be assigned to Mastery Paths](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-a-conditional-assignment-for-students-to/ta-p/1025). The Mastery Paths assignment designates the assignment for conditional release only, and the assignment will only display to students whose source content scores fall in a range that releases the conditional assignment to them.

When the course begins, they will only be able to see items that have been published and assigned to **Everyone** or assigned specifically to them. In contrast, courses that do not use Mastery Paths display all content in the Module, even if the content is locked.

Once a Mastery Path source assignment has been graded (either automatically by Canvas or manually in SpeedGrader), the conditional item(s) will automatically display in the student’s Modules page based on the source item’s scoring range.

If a Mastery Path source assignment scoring range includes an **Or** option, students must choose which conditional item(s) they wish to complete before proceeding.

**Notes:**

- If you set a requirement that module items must be completed in order, when a student completes a Mastery Path that requires any manual grading, all subsequent module items will be locked for the student until the Mastery Path is graded.
- If you regrade a source assignment after a student chooses a Mastery Path option, and the regrade puts the student in a different conditional item range, they will have to complete the conditional item(s) in the reassigned Mastery Path before advancing through the module.

# How do I add conditional content to a Mastery Path source item?

[Mastery Paths](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-are-Mastery-Paths/ta-p/644765) release conditional content to students based on scoring-range rules. After the source assignment or assessment is graded (either manually or automatically), the student’s score designates which conditional item(s) are assigned as a learning path. For instance, a student who scores above 90% on an assignment could be assigned more advanced work, while a student who scores below 60% could view assignments designed for content clarification and improvement. Please note that resubmitted source items may affect conditional paths, as updated grades may change the conditional assignments released to the student.

Any graded assignment, graded discussion, or graded quiz may be used as the source content for a Mastery Path.

Any course item except for practice quizzes, ungraded surveys, external tools, and external tool assignments may be designated as a conditional item in a Mastery Path. Course items such as links, files, and media content must be embedded in a page or assignment to be used as conditional content in Mastery Paths.

A Mastery Path should originate from an assignment assigned to everyone, such as a pre-test or an introductory assignment.

Once you have added conditional content to a Mastery Path source assignment, you must [differentiate each conditional assignment for Mastery Paths](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-a-conditional-assignment-for-students-to/ta-p/1025).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-because-content-page"><div>- Because content pages do not require grading, content pages cannot be used as a Mastery Path source item and can only be added as conditional content. However, a [page must be allowed for Mastery Paths](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-allow-a-page-to-be-a-Mastery-Path-module-item/ta-p/858) before it can be added to a conditional path.
- ‪If conditional items are added to a path and later changed (such as separating conditional items in the same range or adding another item), the change will not apply to any students who have already been graded based on the original conditional path. Conditional items should be final when course content is published.‬
- As conditional items are released to students, individual due dates for items are not applied. To add a due date to conditional items, wait until all students have completed the source assignment and then [add a due date to the conditional item](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Colder-Storage/How-do-I-assign-an-assignment-to-an-individual-student/td-p/253736).
- Conditional content items can be set up with their own conditional items.
- All module items should be published before the course is available to students. If an unpublished item is added as a conditional content item, the student will not be able to view the content until the item is published. Any publishing delays may have unintended consequences for the student's conditional path.
- If your course has a large number of students and/or if a Mastery Path has a large number of associated conditional items, students may experience a delay before they are assigned a path.
- The Mastery Paths setting can be [managed in your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-a-course/ta-p/1037) if the setting has been [enabled by your institution](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-an-account/ta-p/194).

# How do I assign a conditional assignment for students to complete in Mastery Paths?

By default, assignments in Canvas are assigned to Everyone, which means all students will be able to view the item in their Modules page. Once you have [added conditional assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-conditional-content-to-a-Mastery-Path-source-item/ta-p/854) to a Mastery Path, you must designate the assignment for conditional release by assigning it to Mastery Paths. Mastery Path assignments only display to students whose scores fall in a range that releases the assignment to them.

To confirm that all conditional content items have been assigned to Mastery Paths correctly, you can use the Test Student to view the students' Modules page by [enabling Student View](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-a-course-as-a-test-student-using-Student-View/ta-p/1122). The only course items that should be visible to the Test Student are items assigned to Everyone. Therefore, if the Test Student can view a conditional item without having completed any coursework, the assignment may not have been edited and assigned to Mastery Paths.

**Notes:**

# How do I view the Mastery Paths range breakdown results for an assignment?

Once students complete a Mastery Paths source item, you can view the breakdown of the mastery path ranges in the item. Each range includes a link that shows the number of students who scored in each range. You can view a specific student’s score for the Mastery Path source item, view the student's submission, view the student's conditional content assignments, and send a message to the student.

# How do I use SpeedGrader?

[SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-is-SpeedGrader/ta-p/644774) makes it easy to evaluate individual student assignments and group assignments quickly.

SpeedGrader displays assignment submissions for active students in your course. However, SpeedGrader displays assignment submissions according to the current [Gradebook settings](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Gradebook/ta-p/701) for inactive enrollments and concluded enrollments. For instance, if the Gradebook settings show inactive enrollments, inactive student submissions also appear in SpeedGrader.

**Accessing SpeedGrader**

You can access SpeedGrader through: [Assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-get-to-SpeedGrader-from-an-assignment-quiz-or-graded/ta-p/759), [Quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-get-to-SpeedGrader-from-an-assignment-quiz-or-graded/ta-p/759), [Graded Discussions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-get-to-SpeedGrader-from-an-assignment-quiz-or-graded/ta-p/759), and [the Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-get-to-SpeedGrader-from-the-Gradebook/ta-p/925).

**SpeedGrader Performance**

In SpeedGrader, all values for an assignment are loaded and saved in the browser, including student submission data, any grades (including original grades for resubmitted assignments), rubrics, and comments. This behavior reduces load time while using SpeedGrader, allowing instructors to grade all submissions quickly without continually refreshing the browser. Advancing from one submission to the next does not dynamically load any updated content.

In large courses, SpeedGrader loading times are affected by a threshold of data points that can be loaded within a 60-second window. This threshold is based on a single submission per student. Multiple submissions by the same student increase the submission threshold. Assignments with more than 1500 submissions may result in delayed SpeedGrader loading times, and assignments with more than 2500 submissions may fail to load at all.

To improve SpeedGrader performance, large courses should be separated into sections, which allows SpeedGrader to display submissions for a specific section and decrease the overall loading time for an assignment's data.  
  
**Modernized SpeedGrader Platform**

The [Modernized SpeedGrader Platform](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-SpeedGrader/ta-p/757#access-the-improved-speedgrader-experience) has been updated for faster load times and improved stability. These include a streamlined Section drop-down menu, a more prominent No Submission alert, and a refined interface for courses without content. The Submission Status is now a drop-down menu, and rubrics are automatically displayed in the traditional view for easier access.

**SpeedGrader Users**

SpeedGrader is generally designed for one instructor role to grade submissions at a time. Because of how SpeedGrader data is loaded and stored in the browser, multiple users should not grade assignments at the same time since each grader cannot view the most recent information for a submission. Updated grades also affect the Gradebook.

If your course includes multiple graders, graders added to a course can be limited to only [interact with users in a section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-limit-a-user-to-only-interact-with-other-users-in-the/ta-p/1211) and only grade submissions in the section where they were enrolled. This enrollment option prevents assignment grading overlap so multiple instructor roles cannot grade the same assignment.

**Moderated Grading**

If you are grading a [moderated assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-moderated-assignment-to-be-graded-by-multiple/ta-p/605) and the maximum number of graders has been reached, SpeedGrader will be displayed in a read-only mode to hide all student names and submission details.

**Note:** Instructors cannot delete assignment submissions. If you need to delete an inappropriate assignment submission, contact your administrator.

If an assignment includes a submission from an inactive or concluded student, a notice appears at the top of the SpeedGrader window.

For group assignments where students are graded as a group, the group displays as long as there is at least one active student in the group. If there are no active students in the group, the group displays if one group member aligns with the enrollment settings in the Gradebook. For group assignments where students are graded individually, individual student submissions display according to the enrollment settings in the Gradebook.

Inactive student submissions can still be graded in SpeedGrader, but students do not receive any notifications about their assignments and cannot view course grades.

Concluded student submissions are read-only; they cannot be graded or receive comments.

**Note:** If a student does not have a submission for the assignment, the student may have been deactivated or concluded before being able to submit the assignment.

When an assignment is opened in SpeedGrader, all values for that assignment are loaded and saved in the browser, including student submission data, any grades (including original grades for resubmitted assignments), rubrics, and comments. To improve performance, assignments in large courses should always be viewed by section.

# How do I sort the student list in SpeedGrader?

By default, the SpeedGrader [student list](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-student-list-to-view-student-submissions-in/ta-p/770) arranges student names alphabetically by last name. For easier grading, you can sort the student list by student name (alphabetically), submission date, or by submission status. You can also view the students in random order and view the students within a submission status in random order.

# How do I view the details of a submission for a student in SpeedGrader?

You can view the details of a student's submission in the SpeedGrader sidebar. If a student has resubmitted an assignment, you can view previous versions.

However, when [anonymous grading](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-student-names-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/768) is enabled, submission details are hidden in the submission sidebar until the assignment is unmuted or assignment grades are posted.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-instructors-cannot-d"><div>- Instructors cannot delete assignment submissions. If you need to delete an inappropriate assignment submission, contact your administrator.
- If a quiz includes more than 65 total submissions, individual attempts cannot be viewed in SpeedGrader.

# How do I grade group assignments in SpeedGrader?

Before you can evaluate group work, you will need to [create a group assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-an-assignment-to-a-course-group/ta-p/633). Students can submit Google documents, pages, and other group work as an assignment.

**Note:** Students should be assigned to groups before group assignments are published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group or students who were removed from a group.

# How do I hide student names in SpeedGrader?

If you want to grade assignments without viewing student submission details, you can hide student names in SpeedGrader for anonymous grading. This option can be enabled on a per-user basis.

When you open SpeedGrader, you can hide names for your purposes only using the SpeedGrader options. The first student displayed in the SpeedGrader is always randomly generated for every assignment.

When you hide student names, no [student submission details](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-details-of-a-submission-for-a-student-in/ta-p/762) display in the SpeedGrader submission sidebar. However, student IDs still display in the SpeedGrader URL unless you [enable anonymous grading](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-assignment-that-includes-anonymous-grading/ta-p/769). Additionally, students can still see their grades. To hide assignment grades, you may need to [hide them manually](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-or-post-assignment-grades-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/1000).

**Anonymous Grading**

This feature does not require the Anonymous Grading feature option to be enabled. However, assignments that have enabled Anonymous Grading display the following SpeedGrader options:

<div id="bkmrk-if-the-checkbox-to-h"><div><div>- If the checkbox to hide student names is not visible in SpeedGrader settings, anonymous grading has been enabled for the assignment.
- Grades of anonymous grading assignments are automatically hidden. Anonymity can be removed from each submission by editing the assignment and changing the anonymous options to allow graders to view student names. Submission details can only be viewed [when assignment grades have been posted](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-or-post-assignment-grades-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/1000).
- Posting grades for an anonymous assignment will remove anonymity from the assignment.

</div></div></div>**Note**: Hiding names in SpeedGrader does not affect names in the Gradebook.

# How do I hide or post assignment grades in SpeedGrader?

**The Hide Grades feature only affects previously posted grades for an assignment. Best practice suggests that instructors should use this feature sparingly (i.e. to hide grades posted in error). To hide all grades upon entry until you are ready to post them for student view, please** [**set a manual posting policy**](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574) **for your assignment or** [**set a posting policy for a course**](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-a-course-in-the/ta-p/588)**.**

You can hide or post assignment grades from SpeedGrader. You can also [hide grades](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-grades-that-were-previously-posted-in-the/ta-p/721) or [post grades](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-post-grades-for-an-assignment-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/576) from the Gradebook.

When assignment grades are hidden, students will not receive grade change or instructor comment notifications for the assignment. Students will also be unable to view their grades, including grade and score changes, instructor submission comments, Canvas DocViewer comments, and curved grades for the assignment. Students can still see and submit the assignment and will be informed on the student grades page that assignment grades are hidden.

When assignment grades are posted, you can select to post grades to everyone or post to students with graded submissions. When the Everyone option is selected, the Visibility icon will be removed from the Grades page for all students for this specific assignment. Learn more about [managing grade visibility in your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-posting-policies-in-a-course/ta-p/928) and view the [interactive Student Grade Visibility Flowchart](http://bit.ly/cnvs-grade-visibility-flowchart).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-make-changes-"><div>- If you make changes to an assignment with hidden grades, the total score as you see it (in both the Gradebook and the student Grades page) will be affected. However, students will not see any changes when they view their Grades page. Once you post the assignment grades, the total grade in the student's view will update accordingly.
- Anonymous and moderated assignments automatically default to a manual posting policy. Grades for moderated assignments cannot be posted until [final grades have been posted](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-publish-final-grades-for-a-moderated-assignment/ta-p/681).
- Students can see peer review comments when assignment grades are hidden. However, students cannot see instructor comments until after the assignment grades are posted.
- If you post grades for an assignment with varied due dates, all students will receive score results at the same time.
- In Classic Quizzes, students will not be able to see their quiz responses while quiz grades are hidden.
- In New Quizzes, hiding grades does not affect a student's ability to access their quiz scores. Student visibility of New Quizzes scores must be managed from the [quiz settings menu](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-settings-for-a-quiz-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/581).
- If you have set an automatic post policy [for an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574) or [for your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-a-course-in-the/ta-p/588), manually hiding grades only hides assignment scores already graded. Any scores added to SpeedGrader after manually hiding grades follow the selected post policy and are visible to students.

# How do I add annotated comments in student submissions using DocViewer in SpeedGrader?

Canvas DocViewer is a tool that allows annotations on online assignment submissions in Canvas. You can use DocViewer to view files and assignments in SpeedGrader. You can view when students view annotated feedback in the [assignment details](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-details-of-a-submission-for-a-student-in/ta-p/762) section of the sidebar.

DocViewer has a 10-hour session limit that begins when you open a submission. If you start to make an annotation but do not submit it before the session expires, the annotation will not be saved. Submitted annotations are saved and are not affected by the session limit. Canvas will display a session expiration warning at 9 hours 50 minutes, followed by a 5-minute and 1-minute warning until the 10-hour limit has been reached. You can restart a DocViewer session at any time by refreshing the submission page.

If your browser includes a built-in PDF viewer, select the option to view the PDF in the system viewer.

A [student can view your DocViewer comments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-annotated-comments-in-student-submissions-using/ta-p/694) from the assignment Submissions Details page.

**Compatible DocViewer Files**

If a submission includes a [file that can be rendered in DocViewer](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-types-of-files-can-I-preview-in-Canvas/ta-p/644858), but the submission preview is not yet complete, Canvas will generate a message stating the document is still processing.

**Accessibility**

Students can access DocViewer annotations and comments with a screen reader, which can read the annotation, author name, comments, and any reply comments at the end of the document. However, the following limitations currently exist: when a student is listening to the document, there is no indication that a comment is available; if a student is tabbing through comments, they cannot jump to the associated place in the annotated assignment; the kind of annotation is not indicated; some images may have no alternate text or display; markers in the document are not in-line with the text.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-files-over-100-mb-an"><div>- Files over 100 MB and password-protected files will not be converted by DocViewer.
- Annotation tools are not available for text entry assignments.
- SpeedGrader may take up to ten minutes after an assignment is submitted to display a file that supports DocViewer.
- In mobile devices, DocViewer annotations are only fully supported in the Canvas Teacher app.
- Canvas DocViewer does not support anonymous comments, so it cannot be used for annotated feedback on assignments with anonymous peer reviews.
- If an assignment is anonymously graded, students will not be able to view instructor annotations until the assignment is unmuted or assignment grades have been posted.
- If students have enabled the Submission Comment notification, they will receive notifications when you add comments to their document. If annotation comments have been made anonymous, students receive notifications that do not include the name of the user who posted the comment. If the assignment has a manual posting policy, you may need to post grades and/or comments for students to receive a notification.
- If you download the PDF files to view the annotations on your computer, Adobe Acrobat Reader is a common tool used for this purpose.

# How do I enter and edit grades in SpeedGrader?

In SpeedGrader, you can enter grades for student submissions. Grades are automatically displayed in the Gradebook.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-speedgrader-is-gener"><div>- SpeedGrader is generally designed for one instructor role to enter grades at a time. Because of how SpeedGrader loads and stores data in the browser, multiple users should not grade assignments at the same time since each grader cannot view the most recent information for a submission. For more details on grading limitations, please see the lesson about [how to use SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-SpeedGrader/ta-p/757).
- When using [differentiated assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-differentiated-assignments-with-different-due/ta-p/715), the assignment only displays students in the student list who are part of the assignment or section.

# How do I change the status of a submission in SpeedGrader?

In the SpeedGrader sidebar, you can edit the submission status for a student's or group's assignment, discussion, or quiz. Available statuses include Late, Missing, Excused, and None.

If a submission status is set to late or missing, the status displays on the student's Grades page. If you do not want status labels displayed on a student's grades page, set the assignment status to None.

Assignments given an excused status are not calculated as part of the student's total grade. When an assignment is excused, the student's Assignment Details page and Grades page display the excused status. Students cannot submit excused assignments.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-currently%2C-points-ar"><div>- Currently, points are not automatically deducted for assignments with a late status.

The audit log only displays when [assignment grades have been posted](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-or-post-assignment-grades-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/1000).

You can use the assessment audit log to verify any grading-related actions. The assessment audit log also includes information about Submission comment events, DocViewer comment events, and edits made to the assignment's settings.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-auditing-an-assessme"><div>- Auditing an assessment is an account permission. If you do not have permission to view the Assessment Audit link, your institution has not allowed you to view this feature.
- Assessment auditing requires an assignment to include [moderated grading](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-moderated-assignment-to-be-graded-by-multiple/ta-p/605) or [anonymous grading](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-assignment-that-includes-anonymous-grading/ta-p/769), which are course opt-in features, and may not apply to every assignment.

# How do I use a rubric to grade submissions in SpeedGrader?

If you have added a rubric to an assignment, you can assess the rubric in SpeedGrader.

**Use Rubric for Grading**

If you want to use the rubric to calculate a grade, be sure you have selected the Use this rubric for assignment grading checkbox when [adding a rubric to an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058). *Make sure this checkbox is selected before you begin grading submissions.*

If you do not select the rubric specifically for grading, you can still use the rubric to evaluate an assignment but the score will not update automatically.

**Outcomes Extra Credit**

If your rubric includes outcomes, you may be able to assign extra points for the outcome criterion if this feature is enabled for your course. Learn how to manage feature options in the [course features lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-feature-options-for-a-course/ta-p/710).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-your-rubric-does-"><div>- If your rubric does not contain any predetermined rubric criteria, you should grade the rubric using [free-form comments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-free-form-comments-instead-of-ratings-in-a-rubric/ta-p/1011).
- If your rubric does not contain any point values, you should grade the rubric as a [non-scoring rubric](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-a-non-scoring-rubric-to-assess-submissions-in/ta-p/989).
- If the steps in this lesson do not match what is displayed in your account, learn how to [use a rubric to grade submissions in the Enhanced Rubrics interface](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-a-rubric-to-grade-submissions-in-SpeedGrader-using/ta-p/609343).

# How do I use free-form comments instead of ratings in a rubric in SpeedGrader?

When modifying a rubric, you can choose to enable free-form comments instead of using a ratings scale for each criterion. This allows you to write and leave comments related to the specific criterion. Please note that this option hides all ratings for each criterion, even for ratings within outcomes.

To use free-form comments, make sure you have selected the free-form comments checkbox when [adding a rubric to an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058). *Make sure this checkbox is selected before you begin grading submissions*. This option is only available for rubric criteria that use individual point values; range values are not supported in free-form comments.

# How do I use a non-scoring rubric to assess submissions in SpeedGrader?

If you have added a non-scoring rubric to an assignment, you can assess the rubric in SpeedGrader. Non-scoring rubrics contain rating criterions without point values. Unlike regular rubrics, non-scoring rubrics are not used for grading.

Be sure you have selected the **Remove points from rubric** option when [adding a rubric to an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058). *Be sure this checkbox is selected before you begin grading submissions*.

**Note**: If your rubric does not contain any predetermined rubric criteria, you should grade the rubric using [free-form comments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-free-form-comments-instead-of-ratings-in-a-rubric/ta-p/1011).

# How do I use the Comment Library in SpeedGrader?

The Comment Library allows instructors to save and reuse commonly used text feedback in SpeedGrader. As an instructor, you can add new comments and delete existing comments in the Comment Library. Comments you have added to the Comment Library are accessible from each course in which you are enrolled as an instructor.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-comment-library--0"><div>- The Comment Library functionality is not supported in the assignment submission details page.
- If you enter an assignment score, the score will automatically submit to the Gradebook when navigating to a new submission in SpeedGrader. However, assignment comments must be submitted manually before they can be viewed by students.
- To ensure that students can't access submitted assignment grades and comments until you are finished grading, [select a manual posting policy for the assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574).

# How do I record a webcam video, screen capture, or audio recording as a feedback comment in SpeedGrader?

If you access Canvas using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge as your web browser, you can record a webcam video, audio, or screen capture as a comment on student submissions in [SpeedGrader.](https://community.canvaslms.com/m/67952/l/724422-what-is-speedgrader)

If you record audible speech, recordings include captions automatically.

**Note:** Studio Capture is optimized for Full-HD recordings, with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It performs best when your screen matches or is below this resolution. If your screen has a higher resolution, you may experience performance issues during recording or a decrease in video quality.

# How do I view weekly online activity analytics in an interactive chart graph in New Analytics?

New Analytics allows you to track weekly online activity in your course using an interactive chart graph. Data is for viewing only and cannot directly be changed. You can view analytics in both active and concluded courses.

Weekly online activity is comprised of page views and participations. Average page views is the average approximation of student activity across the course and can be used to identify trends in the course. Participation analytics are defined by specific actions a student takes in the course. Page views and participation metrics include an aggregate across all devices, including Canvas mobile apps.

Only active and completed student enrollments are included in data for New Analytics. Deleted or inactive user enrollments will not generate data.

By default, the analytics page displays an interactive chart graph of all data. However, you can switch and [view data within a table](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-weekly-online-activity-analytics-in-a-data-table/ta-p/595) at any time.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time the data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- Weekly Online Activity displays in a Monday-Sunday format.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.

# How do I use Chrome's speech recognition feature to leave a comment in SpeedGrader?

If you use the Google Chrome web browser to access Canvas, you can use Chrome's speech recognition feature to leave text comments on student assignments in the SpeedGrader. Chrome's speech recognition feature turns your spoken comments into text comments.

Chrome speech recognition will default to the preferred language set in your Chrome settings. To change your setting to a different language, [view your language settings in Chrome](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/173424?hl=en).

# How do I reassign an assignment in SpeedGrader?

As an instructor, you can reassign an assignment in [SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-is-SpeedGrader/ta-p/644774). The Reassign Assignment button is available for graded assignment submissions once a comment has been added by an instructor.

# How do I review moderated assignments in SpeedGrader as a moderator?

If you have moderator permissions, you can review [moderated assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-moderated-assignment-to-be-graded-by-multiple/ta-p/605) that have been reviewed in SpeedGrader by graders, if needed. If an assignment includes a rubric, you can also view the rubric criterion and any feedback that have been used to grade a submission.

Final grades can be selected in SpeedGrader, but grades can only be posted and unmuted from the Grade Summary page for the assignment.

Moderated grading supports anonymity options for grader comments, grader names, student names, and final grader visibility. Depending on the assignment's moderated grading configurations, you may not be able to see certain grader or student identifiers in SpeedGrader.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-individual-graders-c"><div>- Individual graders can review comments within each submission at any time.
- Students can only view comments in the submission that is selected for the final grade; they cannot view comments from any other provisional grade reviews. If you want to include any comments from additional reviewers, you will have to copy the comments manually into the submission selected for the final grade.
- If a reviewer uses [Canvas DocViewer annotations](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-annotated-comments-in-student-submissions-using/ta-p/694), students can only view the annotations in the assessment that was selected or copied as the final grade. In copied reviews, students can view the original reviewer's annotations as well as any annotations added by the moderator.

# How do I grade quiz questions in SpeedGrader?

You can manually grade quiz questions in [SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-is-SpeedGrader/ta-p/644774). Essay and file upload questions require manual grading. However, you may also revise scores for automatically graded questions.

If you want to grade the same quiz question individually for each student, learn how to [grade one quiz question at a time](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-grade-one-quiz-question-at-a-time-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/1002).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-quizzes-that-pull-qu"><div>- Quizzes that pull questions from a question bank will shuffle the order of questions for each student. Question order for each submission may vary within SpeedGrader.
- Quiz grading will not be marked as complete and notifications will not be sent to students until each question for the quiz includes an entered point value. If the value earned for the question is zero, the question must be manually changed from the default unscored value to a score of zero.
- Currently, you can only access SpeedGrader through the Gradebook with New Quizzes.

# How do I adjust the point value for an entire quiz using fudge points in SpeedGrader?

Fudge points allow you to manually add or remove points from a student's overall quiz score. This feature is only available in SpeedGrader.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-want-to-adjus"><div>- If you want to adjust points for a specific question within the quiz, you may want to use the [quiz regrade](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-use-to-regrade-a-quiz-in-a-course/ta-p/1093) feature.
- Grade changes to Classic Quiz submissions made via Gradebook import may display as fudge points in SpeedGrader.
- [Graded survey](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-survey-in-my-course/ta-p/782) quizzes do not support the use of fudge points.
- You can also [regrade a question for a quiz in New Quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-regrade-a-quiz-question-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1293) using SpeedGrader.

# How do I grade one quiz question at a time in SpeedGrader?

If your quiz was created using the Classic Quizzes tool, you can choose to manually grade the same quiz question for each student before viewing student submissions for a different quiz question. Essay and file upload questions always require manual grading, but any quiz question type may be manually graded in SpeedGrader.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-quizzes-that-pull-qu"><div>- Quizzes that pull questions from a question bank will shuffle the order of questions for each student. Question order for each submission may vary within SpeedGrader.

# How do I grade a graded discussion in SpeedGrader?

You can grade and provide feedback on [graded discussion](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-graded-discussion/ta-p/1019) submissions and graded group discussion submissions in SpeedGrader. Discussion replies will display individually, but the replies can also be viewed in the context of the full discussion in SpeedGrader.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-discussion-chec"><div>- When Discussion Checkpoints is enabled, the full discussion thread is displayed, with students' individual replies highlighted—even in non-checkpointed discussions.
- You will not be notified in the Gradebook of additional posts to discussions after a grade has been entered.

# How do I apply Submission Stickers in SpeedGrader?

The Submission Stickers feature option allows instructors to add stickers to individual and group assignment submissions per attempt, offering an engaging way to provide feedback.

Once enabled at the account or course level, instructors can apply stickers through the [Traditional Gradebook tray](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-apply-Submission-Stickers-in-Gradebook/ta-p/631360), [Individual Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-apply-Submission-Stickers-in-Gradebook/ta-p/631360), and SpeedGrader.

Stickers are also supported for anonymous assignments, ensuring privacy. For moderated assignments, stickers can be added once they are published. Stickers follow post policies, meaning grades must be posted for students to view them.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-submission-stickers-"><div>- Submission Stickers only work in courses that have also enabled the Assignment Enhancements feature option.
- The Submission Stickers feature option is disabled by default.
- Submission Stickers are not compatible with the [Modernized SpeedGrader feature option](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-SpeedGrader/ta-p/757) at this time.

# How do I add an assignment that includes anonymous grading?

When creating an assignment, you can choose to set up an assignment with anonymous grading. Selecting the anonymous grading option hides student names from graders when they view assignment submissions in SpeedGrader.

If anonymous grading is not enabled as a feature option in your course, you can enable [anonymous grading in SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-student-names-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/768) on a per-assignment basis at any time.

You can add annotations and comments in DocViewer when Anonymous Grading is enabled. If you want to use DocViewer tools and create anonymous comments in the submission, you can [enable Anonymous Instructor Annotations](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-or-edit-details-in-an-assignment/ta-p/971) in your assignment instead.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-anonymous-grading-is"><div>- Anonymous grading is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable this feature, learn how to manage feature options in the [course features lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-feature-options-for-a-course/ta-p/710).
- You or an admin can enable or disable the anonymous grading option at any time. Any edits made to the assignment will be tracked. To view assignment edits as well as other grading actions, [audit the assessment in SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-audit-an-assessment-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/660).
- Anonymous grading can be enabled with [moderated grading assignment options](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-moderated-assignment-to-be-graded-by-multiple/ta-p/605).
- Anonymous assignments automatically default to a [manual posting policy](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574). Grades for anonymous assignments, like other manual post-policy assignments, are not displayed to students until assignment grades are posted.
- Posting grades for an anonymous assignment will remove anonymity from the assignment.
- Anonymous grading is not available for graded discussions.

# How do I enable anonymous instructor annotations in student submissions?

When creating an assignment, you can enable anonymous instructor annotations in DocViewer supported submissions. When students view a submission with anonymous instructor annotations in DocViewer, comments do not display an instructor's name.

This option only affects comments added in DocViewer in the SpeedGrader submission window. Comments added in the Speedgrader sidebar are not anonymous.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-anonymous-instructor"><div>- Anonymous instructor annotations is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable this feature, learn how to manage feature options in the [course features lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-feature-options-for-a-course/ta-p/710).
- Anonymous Instructor Annotations is not associated with the Anonymous Grading feature and displays as an option in all assignments.
- If you select this checkbox after student submissions are received, any annotations already made in DocViewer will not be anonymous. Ensure this checkbox is selected before allowing students to submit assignments.

# How do I add a moderated assignment to be graded by multiple reviewers?

When creating an assignment, you can choose to set up an assignment with moderated grading. Moderated grading allows multiple reviewers to grade a student's work and create draft or provisional grades for an assignment. For instance, you may want to allow two Teaching Assistants to grade all assignments, and you can review their assessments before determining the final grade. Moderated grading is also useful for creating a sampling of students for assignment review to ensure grading is consistent and allows secondary grade reviews.

When you [add a rubric to a moderated assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058), any associated outcome results display in the Learning Mastery Gradebook only after final grades are posted.

In moderated grading, anyone with assignment creation permissions can specify an assignment submission to be reviewed by one or multiple graders, edit the assignment if necessary, review the grades, and select which grade should be set as the final grade for each student. For each moderated submission, the user set as the moderator is the only user who can specify the final grade for each assignment. Any grader can be specified as the grader who can determine the final grade as long as they have the corresponding permission, but the moderator does not have to personally grade the assignment. Once the assignment is created, only the moderator and admins will be able to change the assigned final grader.

**Moderated Grading**

For moderated assignments, when an assignment reaches its maximum number of graders, the grading notification will be removed from the Dashboard for graders who have not yet assessed the assignment. However, submissions can still be accessed through the Gradebook, if needed. SpeedGrader displays submissions in a read-only mode to hide all student names and submission details.

**Anonymous Grading**

Moderated grading can be enabled with [anonymous grading assignment options](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-assignment-that-includes-anonymous-grading/ta-p/769). If enabled in an assignment, anonymous grading is enabled by default in SpeedGrader, although [anonymous grading in SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-student-names-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/768) can be enabled separately if not enabled for an assignment.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-moderated-grading-is"><div>- Moderated grading is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable this feature, learn how to manage feature options in the [course features lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-feature-options-for-a-course/ta-p/710).
- Once an assignment has been set as a moderated assignment, the moderated assignment option cannot be disabled once submissions have been received, but any edits made to the moderated settings are tracked. To view edits to moderated settings as well as other grading actions, [audit the assessment in SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-audit-an-assessment-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/660).
- Once an assignment has been set as a moderated assignment, course roles must have the [Grades - select final grade for moderation permission](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Course-Role-Permissions/ta-p/387080) to publish or edit moderated assignments.
- Grades cannot be edited in the Gradebook before grades are [released as final grades to the Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-publish-final-grades-for-a-moderated-assignment/ta-p/681) by the moderator. However, after grades are posted, grades can be edited in the Gradebook by any grader.
- Moderated assignments are automatically muted or hidden in the Gradebook until grades are posted.
- Moderated assignments are not supported with Peer Review assignments.

## Create Extra Credit with Assignment Groups

Assignments must be housed within an assignment group. Assignment groups can be unweighted or weighted, depending on how you wish to grade students within your course.

Learn more about [giving extra credit using assignment groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-5612-extra-credit-using-weighted-assignment-groups).

**Notes:**

<div data-step-uuid="15DD54B6-CF51-4933-AE2D-3F836615ED5E" id="bkmrk-assignments-in-the-e"><div data-step-uuid="15DD54B6-CF51-4933-AE2D-3F836615ED5E"><div><div>- Assignments in the extra credit assignment group should be graded at the end of the course, after all other course assignments are graded.
- All other assignment groups in the course should have at least one graded assignment in order for the extra credit assignment group calculation to correctly affect student grades.

</div></div><div data-step-uuid="4B06DB65-371F-4A4B-849B-48FF1AE80FCE"></div></div></div>### Create Extra Credit using Unweighted Assignment Groups

<div data-step-uuid="15DD54B6-CF51-4933-AE2D-3F836615ED5E" id="bkmrk--5"><div data-step-uuid="15DD54B6-CF51-4933-AE2D-3F836615ED5E"><div data-step-uuid="4B06DB65-371F-4A4B-849B-48FF1AE80FCE"><div>![Create Extra Credit using Unweighted Assignment Groups](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/173/895/original/acf437d7-7485-41e2-be0a-d9c7bd02fa62.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>When assignment groups are **not weighted**, you can create extra credit assignments in their own assignment group if you wish. You may want to create a separate group to help distinguish between the different types of assignments. In this example, this entire assignment group has no points possible \[1\].

When the student completes the work required for the extra credit assignments, you can manually add points to the Gradebook.

### Create Extra Credit using Weighted Assignment Groups

<div data-step-uuid="15DD54B6-CF51-4933-AE2D-3F836615ED5E" id="bkmrk--6"><div data-step-uuid="15DD54B6-CF51-4933-AE2D-3F836615ED5E"><div data-step-uuid="B878403C-63F4-44F0-BBA8-6FF59FDD908F"><div>![Create Extra Credit using Weighted Assignment Groups](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/173/897/original/4dfbbeb1-42e9-4122-ba29-833539823ac9.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>[When assignment groups are **weighted**](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-weight-the-final-course-grade-based-on-assignment/ta-p/746), Canvas will **not** calculate grades for an entire group that has no points possible. Therefore, for extra credit assignments to calculate correctly in weighted groups, they must be housed within an existing assignment group that has at least one assignment worth more than zero points.

In this example, the extra credit assignment is housed within the Extra Credit assignment group with multiple assignments worth more than zero points \[1\]. Notice that the assignment groups weights total 110% \[2\]. Any assignment placed within the Extra Credit assignment group will have either a positive or neutral effect on your students' overall grade. Additionally, if a student does not submit the extra credit assignment, their grade will not be negatively impacted.

When the student completes the work required for the extra credit assignments, you can manually add points to the Gradebook.

### Errors with Weighted Assignment Group

<div data-step-uuid="15DD54B6-CF51-4933-AE2D-3F836615ED5E" id="bkmrk--7"><div data-step-uuid="15DD54B6-CF51-4933-AE2D-3F836615ED5E"><div data-step-uuid="8E736C6F-E3CF-4302-8440-D01A27280356"><div>![Errors with Weighted Assignment Group](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/003/059/226/original/d4444d79-1cca-4eb5-ae5c-156015d65c3c.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>If you create your extra credit assignments with zero points within their own assignment group, but you decide to weigh your assignment groups, your extra credit assignments will not calculate correctly within Canvas. Canvas cannot calculate assignment groups where there are no points possible. For example, if the student has 12 points of 0 points possible, Canvas can't determine the impact to the overall grade because 12 cannot be divided by 0.

An error will appear in the total grade column. In this example, the two extra credit assignments (both with zero possible points) have been placed in an assignment group called Extra Credit. However, the assignment group has been weighted. The warning notification indicates that the score does not include Extra Credit (as an assignment group) because the entire group has no points possible. In this situation, the assignments will have to be moved to another assignment group, or you will need to include an assignment within the Extra Credit assignment group that has at least one point possible.

# How do I move or reorder an assignment?

You can move or reorder assignments after you've created them. You can manually drag and drop the assignment, or you can use the Move To option, which is also accessible for keyboard users. You can also move all assignments in an assignment group to another assignment group.

**Note:** If you are using Multiple Grading Periods, you cannot move assignments and quizzes that are part of a closed grading period to another assignment group. However, you can move open assignments and quizzes to another assignment group.

# How do I import SCORM files as an assignment?

If your institution has enabled the SCORM LTI, you can upload SCORM ZIP files as assignments and [as pages](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-SCORM-files-as-a-page/ta-p/424015) in your course (per the applicable package content). SCORM is a technical standard for many e-learning products and is often used to create course content. Once enabled, the SCORM Link will appear in the Course Navigation menu. SCORM packages are imported as External Tool Assignment submissions.

To enable your SCORM content as a stand-alone HTML site, you may need to re-export your SCORM content.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-scorm-lti-must-b"><div>- The SCORM LTI must be enabled in External Apps at the account level before it can be used in courses. If you are an administrator, please contact your Customer Success Manager for assistance.
- If you delete a SCORM assignment from the Assignments page, the assignment will still appear on the SCORM page, and if you try to open the assignment, Canvas will generate an error. However, if you delete the assignment from the SCORM page, the assignment will also be deleted from all other applicable Canvas locations.
- Canvas supports the following versions of SCORM: SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 (2nd, 3rd, and 4th Edition).
- SCORM is not available in beta or test environments of Canvas.
- If a SCORM package is not updated to require signed launch links, users see an "ApiUseSignedLaunchLinks is true, but link was not signed" message when attempting to load their content instead of a media player.
- If SCORM packages are not updated to require signed launch links, the encrypted launch links can be copied, however, they are only valid for a few seconds after they're initially requested and users see a "Token has expired" or "Player could not load" message.
- Before importing SCORM files from Commons, make sure SCORM is configured correctly in the target course. The correct setup ensures that the SCORM references remain valid and functional after the import.

# How do I delete an assignment?

You can delete an assignment from your course if necessary.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-deleting-a-graded-as"><div>- Deleting a graded assignment also removes the assignment from the Gradebook.
- Deleting an assignment deletes all student submissions. Students can still access their assignments from their user files if they were submitted as file uploads. However, any comments you may have made in student assignments are also deleted.
- When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, you cannot delete individual assignments for any student, group, or section in a closed grading period.

# How do I duplicate an assignment?

You can duplicate an assignment in your course. When an assignment is duplicated, the word *Copy* is added to the end of the assignment name.

Duplicating an assignment defaults the copied assignment to an unpublished status. All items in the assignment are duplicated including the name, description, point value, and options, except for the following situations:

<div id="bkmrk-copied-peer-review-a"><div><div>- Copied peer review assignments retain the peer review setting and Assign Review date, but the number of reviews per user will be set to zero.
- Copied assignments are always assigned to everyone in the course; differentiated assignments are not retained for individual users, groups, or sections.
- If a differentiated assignment includes an Everyone Else date, the copied assignment retains the Everyone Else due date, if any.
- If a differentiated assignment does not include an Everyone Else date, the copied assignment does not include a due date.

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-assignments-currentl"><div>- Assignments currently cannot be duplicated for quizzes.
- Except for New Quizzes assessments, assignments configured as an external tool (LTI) submission type cannot be duplicated.

# How do I copy an assignment to another course?

As an instructor, you can copy individual assignments in one course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled. You can also [send assignments to other instructors](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-send-an-assignment-to-another-instructor/ta-p/1118) at your institution. When you copy an assignment, any assets within that assignment (images, files, etc.) will be included in your assignment copy.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-to-share-course-cont"><div>- To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.
- Shared content does not count against course or user quotas.
- If you copy the same assignment to the same course more than once, the assignment you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied assignment.
- When copying a group assignment from one course to another, a new group set with the same name as the original is created in the destination course if no matching group set exists. For the feature to be available, ensure that it is enabled.

# How do I assign an assignment to everyone, individual students, or sections?

By default, assignments you create in your course are assigned to everyone. You can specify a due date and availability dates that apply to everyone. You can also assign an assignment to an individual student or a course section.

You can also assign an assignment to a [course group](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-an-assignment-to-a-course-group/ta-p/633).

When [Multiple Grading Periods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-grading-periods-in-a-course/ta-p/1030) are enabled in a course, assignments are also respected against closed grading periods.

Only assigned students can view the assignment.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-multiple-due-date"><div>- If multiple due dates apply to a student, Canvas assigns the latest due date to the student. For example, if a student's individual due date is November 18 and the section due date is November 20, the student is assigned a due date of November 20.
- If you unassign a student or section to a differentiated assignment you have previously graded, the grade and submission are removed from the assignment. You can restore the submission by reassigning the assignment to the student.
- When using differentiated assignments with the [Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Gradebook/ta-p/701), the assignment appears as a column for all students, but grade cells are grayed out for students who have not been included in the assignment. Grades cannot be assigned for students who have not been included in the assignment, and assignments that are not assigned to a student are not factored into overall grades.

# How do I assign an assignment to a course group?

You can create a group assignment by using the Group Assignment checkbox. Canvas uses group sets to assign group assignments, and each group within the group set that is assigned to the assignment is required to complete the assignment. When creating or editing a group assignment, you can assign an assignment to specific groups. You can also set different due dates and availability dates for a group within an assignment that is assigned to the rest of the class.

You will need to assign a [group set](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-group-set-in-a-course/ta-p/693) as part of the assignment. You can add an existing group set, or you can create a new group set as part of the assignment and add students to groups later. However, if you create a group set with [self sign-up](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-self-sign-up-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/691) or [manual](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manually-create-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/700) group assignments, you will not be able to use the group set until users have been added to the subgroups. Student-created groups cannot be used for group assignments.

When [Multiple Grading Periods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-grading-periods-in-a-course/ta-p/1030) are enabled in a course, assignments are also respected against closed grading periods.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-in-group-assignments"><div>- In group assignments, one submission will count for the entire group. Learn more about [evaluating group work](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-grade-group-assignments-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/698).
- Group assignments cannot be used with External Tool assignments.
- Students should be assigned to groups before group assignments are published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group or students who were removed from a group.
- If multiple due dates apply to a student, Canvas will assign the latest due date to the student. For example, if the group due date is November 18 and a student's individual due date is November 20, the student will be assigned a due date of November 20.

# How do I view differentiated assignments with different due dates in a course?

Differentiated Assignments is a Canvas feature that lets you create different [due dates and availability dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-is-the-difference-between-assignment-due-dates-and/ta-p/897) for assignments, quizzes, and discussions. Assignments and graded discussions can be differentiated for individual students, sections, or groups; quizzes can only be differentiated for individual students or sections. You can designate if the assignment will be limited to those students, sections, or groups or if it will also be assigned to everyone else in the course. Differentiated assignments are also used in [Mastery Paths](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-Mastery-Paths-in-course-modules/ta-p/906).

When using differentiated assignments with the [Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Gradebook/ta-p/701), the assignment appears as a column for all students, but grade cells are grayed out for students who have not been included in the assignment. Grades cannot be assigned for students who have not been included in the assignment. Additionally, assignments that are not assigned to students—whether individually or as part of a section, group, or entire course—are not factored into overall grades. Differentiated assignments are also respected in [Multiple Grading Periods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-grading-periods-in-a-course/ta-p/1030).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-on-the-student-grade"><div>- On the student grades page, students can only view assignments that have been assigned to them.
- This lesson is an overview of placement throughout Canvas. Differentiated assignments do not affect your students since they will only see the assignment that have been assigned to them. However, when an assignment includes more than one section, group, or user, Multiple Due Dates will appear across your entire course including Quizzes, Assignments, Discussions, Syllabus, Modules, Course Analytics, Calendar, and SpeedGrader.

# How do I add a grading scheme to an assignment?

You can add a grading scheme to customize assignment grading. You can use grading schemes created by your institution, grading schemes you already created or you can [create a new grading scheme.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-grading-scheme-in-a-course/ta-p/1054)

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-an-assignment-i"><div>- When an assignment is part of selected content in a course export, the grading scheme for the assignment will also be imported.
- Using an account-level grading scheme built by your institution links the scheme into your course—it does not import as a new scheme on the course level.

# Can a student resubmit Canvas assignments?

Depending on your assignment settings, students may have unlimited or limited assignment submission attempts. As an instructor, you can decide how to handle assignment resubmissions.

You do have the option to set [availability dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-is-the-difference-between-assignment-due-dates-and/ta-p/897) for each assignment. Availability dates can restrict the dates that an assignment can be submitted.

All assignment submissions can be viewed in SpeedGrader. Students will not be able to view their previous submissions after resubmitting unless you [reupload the assignments to Canvas](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-upload-all-student-submissions-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/798).

**Note:** The option to resubmit an assignment may not be available for external tool assignments.

# How do I download all student submissions for an assignment?

If you want to download all student submissions for an assignment, you can download them as a bulk download. All submissions are downloaded as a single ZIP file that you can use to grade submissions on your computer offline. If a student has resubmitted an assignment, only the most recent submission will be included in the ZIP file. You can also [download assignments from the Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-download-all-student-submissions-for-an-assignment-in/ta-p/752).

Bulk downloads can be used for the following submission types: file uploads, text entries (displayed as HTML files), website URLs (displayed as HTML files), and Google Docs submissions. Bulk downloads cannot be used for media recording submissions and will not include any media files embedded in text entry submissions.

In bulk downloads, Canvas automatically amends the file name for each submission type:

<div id="bkmrk-for-group-assignment"><div><div>- For group assignments, the file name will include the name of the assigned group.
- For individual student assignments, the file name will include the name of the student (last name first).
- When anonymous grading is enabled, student names are not included in the names of downloaded files.

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-large-files-may-be-c"><div>- Large files may be compressed when downloaded.
- After downloading student files, you can [re-upload all student submissions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-upload-all-student-submissions-for-an-assignment/ta-p/945). However, you cannot change the names of the submission files. Otherwise Canvas will not be able to recognize the files that should be replaced.
- Students with concluded enrollments are not included in the submissions download.

# How do I upload all student submissions for an assignment?

When you [download all student submissions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-download-all-student-submissions-for-an-assignment/ta-p/760) for an assignment, you can re-upload the assignment submissions as a bulk upload in your course.

Please make sure you have not changed the names of the submission files from your bulk download. If the file names are changed, please rename them to match how they appeared in the download. With different file names, Canvas will not be able to recognize the files that should be replaced.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-files-must-be-compre"><div>- Files must be compressed as a ZIP file for upload. If you are not sure how to create a .zip file, please contact your administrator or consult your computer's software manual.
- For best results, please upload submission files in their original format. For instance, if you download a Word document as a .doc, do not convert the file to a .docx.

# How do I use peer review assignments in a course?

A peer review assignment enables students to provide feedback on another student's assignment submission. Peer reviews are a tool that allows communication between students and can help students master the concepts of a course and learn from each other. Peer reviews can be assigned to show student names or display anonymously.

**Note:** Students can only view peer review assignments after they have submitted work to the assignment.

Group assignments can also be assigned peer reviews.

When a peer review has been assigned, students can view a notification in their Dashboard To Do sidebar or Activity Stream \[2\]. Students will also receive an email notification.

If the assignment is not an On Paper or No Submission assignment type, students can also view the peer review information in the sidebar of the assignment details page.

Students cannot view previously submitted comments by any other reviewers, including comments by TAs or other instructors.

You can also assign a rubric to the assignment. If the assignment includes a rubric \[2\], students must only complete the rubric to complete the peer review. However, you can choose to ask your students to also leave a comment in the comment sidebar. The rubric score is used for an assessment opinion only; you must review the assignment and assign the final grade.

### View Peer Review Grades

Students do not receive a grade for completing a peer review. If you want to assign extra points for peer reviews, you can create a No Submission assignment in the Gradebook and assign points manually. The Peer Review page for the assignment will show the names of students who have completed the peer review.

**Notes about Anonymous Peer Reviews**

<div data-step-uuid="5b9befac-7649-4817-b693-1ed0691e48fb" id="bkmrk-email-notifications-"><div data-step-uuid="5b9befac-7649-4817-b693-1ed0691e48fb"><div><div>- Email notifications sent to students about peer reviews are anonymous. Student reviewers cannot view the name of the person whose work they are reviewing.
- Once a peer review has been assigned, the viewing setting cannot be changed. For instance, a regular peer review cannot later be made anonymous—and appear anonymous—unless the peer review is deleted and re-assigned.
- Canvas DocViewer does not support anonymous comments, so it cannot be used for annotated feedback on assignments with anonymous peer reviews.
- When anonymous peer reviews are enabled, you and your TAs can still view the names of student reviewers in SpeedGrader and in the student submission page. However, if anonymous grading is enabled in SpeedGrader, the names of both students will be hidden in SpeedGrader but not in the student submission page.

# How do I create a peer review assignment?

When creating an assignment, you can require students to complete a peer review of another student's work. Learn more about [peer review assignments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-peer-review-assignments-in-a-course/ta-p/697).

For peer reviews, you can [manually assign](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manually-assign-peer-reviews-for-an-assignment/ta-p/650) peer reviews or choose to have Canvas [automatically assign](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-automatically-assign-peer-reviews-for-an-assignment/ta-p/899) peer reviews for you. You can also choose to allow students to see other students' names in peer reviews or make them anonymous. When anonymous peer reviews are enabled, instructors and TAs can still view the names of student reviewers in SpeedGrader and in the student submission page. However, if anonymous grading is enabled in SpeedGrader, the names of both students will be hidden in SpeedGrader but not in the student submission page.

To complete the peer review, students are required to leave at least one comment. If you include a rubric, they are only required to complete the rubric.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-to-learn-how-assignm"><div>- To learn how assignment and peer review due dates appear in a student's To Do list, view the [Peer Review Tips resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Peer-Review-Tips/ta-p/387092).
- Peer reviews cannot be used with External Tool assignments.
- Students can see peer review comments if assignment grades are hidden. However, students cannot see instructor comments until after assignment grades have been posted.
- Instructors cannot edit or delete student peer review comments.

# How do I manually assign peer reviews for an assignment?

When you [create a peer review assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-peer-review-assignment/ta-p/641) with manual peer reviews, you can choose which students will be assigned peer reviews.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-manually-assign"><div>- When manually assigning peer reviews, students need to submit their own assignment first before being able to complete their assigned peer reviews.
- If a student enrollment is deleted or becomes inactive, students will no longer be assigned to complete a peer review for the deleted or inactive enrollment. However, peer reviews already completed by the deleted/inactive enrollment will still display for students and instructors. If peer reviews have already been assigned, you may need to adjust assigned peer reviews.

# How do I automatically assign peer reviews for an assignment?

When you [create a peer review assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-peer-review-assignment/ta-p/641) with automatic peer reviews, Canvas will assign peer reviews to students automatically once they have submitted their own assignment.

You can also tell Canvas to automatically assign peer reviews after an assignment due date has passed.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-it-may-take-up-to-on"><div>- It may take up to one hour for Canvas to assign peer reviews.
- If a student has not submitted the assignment or submits the assignment after the due date, the student will not automatically be assigned a peer review and you must manually assign one.
- On Paper and No Submission assignment types must have [manually assigned peer reviews](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manually-assign-peer-reviews-for-an-assignment/ta-p/650).
- If a student enrollment is deleted or becomes inactive, students will no longer be assigned to complete a peer review for the deleted or inactive enrollment. However, peer reviews already completed by the deleted/inactive enrollment will still display for students and instructors. If peer reviews have already been assigned, you may need to adjust assigned peer reviews.
- Instructors must manually assign peer reviews to ensure that students who are part of the same group do not get assigned to each other on a group project.

Peer reviews require a student to review an individual submission by another student. However, group assignment submissions are made by one group member on behalf of the entire group, and all group members have the same submission.

By default, the **Allow intra-group peer reviews** checkbox is not selected, which means Canvas will exclude members of the same group when assigning peer reviews. However, by selecting the checkbox, reviews can be assigned randomly to all members of the course, including members of the same group.

To allow Canvas to automatically assign a peer review to any student in any other group, including students from within the student’s own group, select the Allow intra-group peer review checkbox. Selecting the checkbox allows assignments to be truly random and disregard group associations.

# How do I publish or unpublish a quiz as an instructor?

As an instructor, you can publish or unpublish quizzes in a course. Unpublished content is invisible to students, and graded quizzes are excluded from grade calculations.

**Note**: If you use Modules in your course and add a Quiz to a Module, please be aware that the state of the Module overrides the state of all module items. You may want to consider leaving Quizzes unpublished until you are ready to publish the entire Module. For more information please see the [Modules Draft State lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-publish-or-unpublish-a-module-as-an-instructor/ta-p/571).

# What quiz types can I create in a course?

The quiz tool is used to create and administer online quizzes and surveys. You can also use quizzes to [conduct and moderate exams and assessments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-set-in-a-quiz/ta-p/683), both graded and ungraded. The steps to create quiz content are the same for each quiz type.

Graded quiz types display in the Syllabus, Gradebook, Calendar, and To Do Lists.

**Note:** Practice quizzes and ungraded surveys do not display in the Calendar.

After a student takes a graded quiz, certain question types will be automatically graded. You can also view quiz [results for graded quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-student-results-in-a-quiz/ta-p/1114) in SpeedGrader or from the quiz results page.

Practice quizzes are not a graded quiz type. Students do not receive a grade for practice quizzes, even though the quiz results display the number of points earned in the quiz. Practice quiz results do not display on the student grades page and must be viewed from the submission details page.

# What options can I set in a quiz?

When you [create a quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-individual-questions/ta-p/1248), you have a variety of options to choose from within a classic quiz.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-the-disable-cla"><div>- When the Disable Classic Quiz Creation feature option is enabled, you cannot create new Classic Quizzes. However, existing Classic Quizzes can continue to be edited, imported, and migrated to New Quizzes.

Timed quizzes begin once a student begins the exam and **do not pause** if the student navigates away from the quiz. If no time limit is set, students have unlimited time to complete the quiz.

- **Only Once After Each Attempt** \[3\]: students can view their responses immediately after they have completed the quiz—results include both their responses and the correct answers. Students will still see their quiz score upon submitting a quiz when this option is enabled. Because of this, this option may not be appropriate for quizzes that require manual grading, such as essay questions, where students may need to access the quiz results multiple times to see an updated quiz score.

</div></div></div></div>*If you allow more than one attempt for the quiz and students can only see responses after the last attempt*, please be aware that not all students may complete all attempts and therefore may never see their quiz responses. For instance, if a student has three attempts but achieves their desired score in the second attempt, the student will most likely not complete the third (and last) attempt. That means their quiz responses and correct answers will not appear because the last attempt was not completed. To allow these students to see their responses, you would have to manually change the quiz settings at a later time.

<div data-step-uuid="C24F6A2E-714B-47D5-832C-F93A8FD59CA3" id="bkmrk-questions-will-be-lo"><div><div>- Questions will be locked even if a student clicks the Next button without answering the question.
- If your Canvas admin has restricted students from viewing quiz submissions after the course ends, the options to let students see correct answers and show one question at a time will not be available after the course end date has passed.

</div></div></div>## Set Quiz Restrictions

<div data-step-uuid="ee3fd903-e4f2-403d-8cb9-bfc6d14202c2" id="bkmrk--7"><div data-step-uuid="ee3fd903-e4f2-403d-8cb9-bfc6d14202c2"><div>![Set Quiz Restrictions](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/893/084/original/5d0800c9-a7b8-4a7d-8e6a-a797578faafc.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>By default, any student in the course can take a quiz from anywhere. However, you can restrict the quiz so it can only be taken in specific situations. Use the following options:

<div data-step-uuid="ee3fd903-e4f2-403d-8cb9-bfc6d14202c2" id="bkmrk-require-an-access-co"><div data-step-uuid="ee3fd903-e4f2-403d-8cb9-bfc6d14202c2"><div><div>- **Require an access code** \[1\]: requires students to enter an access code to take the quiz. Enter the access code in the access code text field \[2\].
- **Filter IP Addresses** \[3\]: filters IP addresses and requires students to take a quiz from a specific computer lab. Enter the IP address in the IP address text field \[4\].

</div></div></div></div>If you have the [Respondus LockDown Browser](https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10720-67952720329) plugin enabled by your institution, that browser also appears as an option under Quiz Restrictions. The Respondus LockDown Browser does not allow other windows to be opened during the quiz and helps prevent cheating.

If your institution uses the Respondus LockDown Browser LTI, the Respondus option does not display under Quiz Restrictions and Respondus LockDown settings are managed from the LockDown Browser Dashboard in Course Navigation.

**Notes:**

<div data-step-uuid="ee3fd903-e4f2-403d-8cb9-bfc6d14202c2" id="bkmrk-an-access-code-may-c"><div><div>- An access code may contain any number of characters.
- You can change an access code at any time. This has no effect on students who have already taken the quiz or those who have not. However, if you change the access code while students are taking the quiz, the students may be forced out of the quiz as soon as they answer a question, click the Next button, or cause a page refresh. Students must start the quiz again using the new access code.
- Quiz IP filters are a way to limit access to quizzes to computers in a specified IP range. Filters can be a comma-separated list of addresses, or an address followed by a mask (i.e., 192.168.217.1/24 or 192.168.217.1/255.255.255.0). For more information on these masks, view the [IP Filtering in Canvas resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/IP-Filtering-in-Canvas/ta-p/387089).

# How do I import quizzes from QTI packages?

You can easily import quizzes from programs that create QTI files. If a program does not create QTI files, it cannot be imported into Canvas.

[QTI](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-quizzes-from-QTI-packages/ta-p/1046) files can be created from a variety of different learning management systems and software:

<div id="bkmrk-quizzes-created-in%C2%A0r"><div><div>- Quizzes created in [Respondus 4.0](http://www.respondus.com/products/respondus.shtml) (Windows software) can be exported as QTI packages. To learn how to use Respondus 4.0 [refer to this user guide](https://web.respondus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Respondus40UserGuideCanvas.pdf) (DOC). A [QuickStart guide](https://web.respondus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Respondus40QuickStartGuide.pdf) for Respondus 4.0 is also available (PDF).
- Quizzes created in [Blackboard](https://help.blackboard.com/Filter/Instructor) (WebCT, Angel) can be exported as QTI packages.
- Quizzes created in [Moodle](http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Export_questions) can be exported as QTI packages. This will work with Moodle 2.0 or older versions. However, Moodle 2.1 and newer versions no longer export QTI packages.

</div></div></div>**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-canvas-supports-qti-"><div>- Canvas supports QTI versions 1.2 and 2.1.
- Quiz exports will not include questions from quizzes that use randomly selected questions from question banks.

<div data-step-uuid="2782390c-d8ce-4369-9e68-9a4b1d670faa" id="bkmrk--5"><div data-step-uuid="2782390c-d8ce-4369-9e68-9a4b1d670faa"><div>![Import existing quizzes as New Quizzes ](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/009/016/788/original/ab5f5935-3068-41de-91b4-41e082daa4c8.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>If allowed by your institution, you can import existing quizzes into New Quizzes by clicking the **Convert content to New Quizzes** checkbox.

If your institution enables the quiz migration feature, question banks linked via a question group in Classic Quizzes will migrate to New Quizzes. If the quiz migration feature is not enabled by your institution, questions from question banks must be individually added before migrating to New Quizzes.

**Notes:**

<div data-step-uuid="2782390c-d8ce-4369-9e68-9a4b1d670faa" id="bkmrk-the-convert-content-"><div><div>- The Convert content to New Quizzes option only displays for courses that have enabled New Quizzes.
- If you have enabled New Quizzes but the option does not display, your institution has not enabled New Quizzes migration upon import.
- You cannot select a default question bank when using the Import assessment content as New Quizzes option.
- New Quizzes does not include a survey feature. Therefore, surveys migrated from Classic Quizzes come over as standard quizzes in New Quizzes.
- After migration to New Quizzes, multiple dropdown questions display as matching questions.
- Text No Question questions migrate to New Quizzes as Stimulus questions. An instructor must add a question in order for it to display in a quiz.
- Question groups with manually created questions will migrate as item banks in New Quizzes.
- If a quiz is migrated multiple times, Canvas uses smart merging to decipher the question bank content that should be retained. This process helps ensure all content is retained, such as in cases where multiple users may be making edits to a quiz at the same time.
- Practice quizzes from Classic Quizzes can be migrated to New Quizzes. Once migrated, by default, the practice quizzes are displayed as zero points possible and are hidden from the Gradebook and Grades page.
- All [Question Banks](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-are-question-banks/ta-p/644767) converted to Item Banks appear on the [Item Banks page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-item-banks-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1052) of the new course under the [This Course filter](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-item-banks-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1052).

Some systems recycle their IDs for each new export. Therefore, if you export two separate question banks they will have the same IDs. To prevent losing assessment data Canvas treats the question banks as separate objects despite the IDs. Choosing this option will disable this safety feature and allow assessment data to overwrite existing data with the same IDs.

# How do I create a quiz with individual questions?

You can add your own questions to your quizzes. You can create various types of quiz questions. Individual questions can also be added to [question groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-to-randomize-quiz/ta-p/1032).

When a document is uploaded to the Rich Content Editor from a quiz, the file is saved to the Uploaded Media folder in Course Files and defaults to hidden status. Students can view the file when the quiz is made available to them. [Learn more about file visibility](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/How-do-I-restrict-files-and-folders/ta-p/644850).

# How do I create a quiz with a question group to randomize quiz questions?

You can create a quiz using a question group. Question groups allow you to place multiple questions within a group for students to answer. You can choose the number of questions that should be answered from the group and how many points to assign each question. Creating a question group randomizes questions within a quiz.

You can add questions to your question group in several ways:

<div id="bkmrk-link-to-a-question-b"><div><div>- **Link to a question bank** to reference all questions in a question bank
- Add an **individual question** to create your own questions from scratch
- **Find questions** to reference specific questions from a question bank

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-need-your-que"><div>- If you need your questions to appear in a specific order, do not place quiz questions inside a question group.
- When the Disable Classic Quiz Creation feature option is enabled, you cannot create new Classic Quizzes. However, existing Classic Quizzes can continue to be edited, imported, and migrated to New Quizzes.

# How do I create a quiz by finding questions in a question bank?

You can create a quiz by finding questions from question banks.

You can add questions from [all of the question banks](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-question-bank-in-a-course/ta-p/1228) that you have built in other courses where you are the Instructor, question banks that have been added by your administrator to your sub-account, and question banks you have [bookmarked in other courses](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-bookmark-or-unbookmark-a-question-bank-in-a-course/ta-p/1231). If an outcome is aligned to a question bank, referencing the question bank in a quiz will also import the associated outcome to the course.

Canvas will reference the questions you choose as each student takes the quiz. These questions will stay in sequential order and stay in order each time the quiz is taken or previewed. If you want to randomize quiz questions, you can add them to a [question group](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-to-randomize-quiz/ta-p/1032).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-you-find-questi"><div>- When you Find Questions in a question bank, changes made to questions in the question bank will not update in the quiz. Changes will update in the quiz only if the questions are [linked to a question bank](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-linked-to-a/ta-p/1033).
- When the Disable Classic Quiz Creation feature option is enabled, you cannot create new Classic Quizzes. However, existing Classic Quizzes can continue to be edited, imported, and migrated to New Quizzes.

# How do I create a True/False quiz question?

You can create a question for students that is a true or false answer.

If you need to edit a True/False question after publishing the quiz, you can use [quiz regrade](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-use-to-regrade-a-quiz-in-a-course/ta-p/1093) to edit quiz questions and tell Canvas to update grades for students who have already taken the quiz.

# How do I create a Multiple Answers quiz question?

You can create a question that has multiple answers in it.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-need-to-edit-"><div>- If you need to edit a Multiple Answers question after publishing the quiz, you can use [quiz regrade](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-use-to-regrade-a-quiz-in-a-course/ta-p/1093) to edit quiz questions and tell Canvas to update grades for students who have already taken the quiz. However, this option only works for regrading existing questions, not deleting questions completely.
- To calculate scores for Multiple Answers quiz questions, Canvas divides the total points possible by the amount of correct answers for that question. This amount is awarded for every correct answer selected and deducted for every incorrect answer selected. No points are awarded or deducted for correct or incorrect answers that are not selected. For example, an instructor may create a Multiple Answer quiz question with 9 points possible that includes three correct choices and two incorrect choices. If a student selects two correct answers and one incorrect answer, they would be awarded 3 total points for that question. This would be calculated by awarding 3 points (9 total points divided by 3 correct answers) for each correct answer and subtracting 3 points for the incorrect answer.

# How do I create Likert scale quiz questions?

A Likert scale question is a list of statements with response points that indicate agreement. Canvas' Multiple Dropdown question type can be used for Likert-style questions in Surveys.

## Create Survey

<div data-step-uuid="4D5B64B6-F610-48F4-87F0-C350A96F1F07" id="bkmrk-"><div data-step-uuid="4D5B64B6-F610-48F4-87F0-C350A96F1F07"><div>![Create Survey](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/762/019/original/19bb8cf1-5a73-4ff7-b6f4-634cb1d97402.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>After clicking the **Quizzes** link, either create or edit a quiz. Make sure the quiz type is set as either a Graded or Ungraded Survey.

## Set Name, Type, and Points

<div data-step-uuid="10cfa681-2973-495a-ad93-72db31922599" id="bkmrk--1"><div data-step-uuid="10cfa681-2973-495a-ad93-72db31922599"><div>![Set Name, Type, and Points](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/762/009/original/53d43773-58ae-4d80-b76d-aae52807032f.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>Quiz questions are not automatically numbered for instructors. To add a custom name to your quiz question, enter the name in the question text field \[1\]. Custom names can help you identify quiz questions more easily. Regardless of the question name, students always see quiz questions in numerical order (i.e. Question 1, Question 2).

Click the drop-down menu and select the Multiple Dropdowns question type \[2\].

Enter number of points the question is worth (quiz totals are calculated based on combined total of questions) \[3\].

**Note:** Quiz point values support up to two decimal places. Entering more than two decimal places will round the point value to the nearest hundredth.

<div data-step-uuid="0019A13A-9B77-4C8E-B56B-F3D308C4017D" id="bkmrk--2"><div data-step-uuid="0019A13A-9B77-4C8E-B56B-F3D308C4017D"><div>[![Add a Table](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/004/049/073/medium/a2c75edc-0be3-4758-9c3c-404c873fb87b.png)](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/004/049/073/original/a2c75edc-0be3-4758-9c3c-404c873fb87b.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>After adding in any preliminary instructions, click the **table** icon \[1\] in the Rich Content Editor and choose two columns \[2\] and as many rows as you need (one per statement) to contain the entire Likert scale of items. In this example, there are three rows.

**Note:**To view the Table icon, you may have to click the **Options** icon \[3\].

## Add Likert Items as Statements and Answer Choice Boxes

<div data-step-uuid="59DE32FD-12FB-4A7F-9D54-92794FF27084" id="bkmrk--3"><div data-step-uuid="59DE32FD-12FB-4A7F-9D54-92794FF27084"><div>![Add Likert Items as Statements](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/004/049/076/original/1a139581-41b4-4620-9c87-7c2c9809996d.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>Each row of the table will be a distinct Likert item, which is a statement with answer choice boxes, and users can select how strongly they agree or disagree with that statement.

Create a name for the answer choice boxes, and use square brackets to frame the answer choice boxes. In this example, we made **expectations**, **feedback**, and **answered questions** the reference words to create answer choices for the three statements and set them up as \[expectations\], \[feedback\], and \[answered-questions\].

**Note:** Likert items cannot contain spaces. You can separate multiple word Likert items with hyphens.

## Add Responses as Possible Answers for Each Likert Item

<div data-step-uuid="C0F20831-7FCC-4149-9460-CD5A6F610174" id="bkmrk--4"><div data-step-uuid="C0F20831-7FCC-4149-9460-CD5A6F610174"><div>[![Add Responses as Possible Answers](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/004/049/078/medium/36453c74-87f8-4a52-89e8-5f095c78ece9.png)](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/004/049/078/original/36453c74-87f8-4a52-89e8-5f095c78ece9.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>Each Likert item needs to have its own listing of responses as possible answers.

Select each Possible Response and add as many Answers as possible, with consistent Answer Text. You will have to input the Answer Text for each answer choice box. For example, \[expectations\], \[feedback\], and \[answered-questions\] will all need to have each possible response added separately.

Select the first reference item from the drop-down list. Then fill in the Likert responses. The standard five-point Likert responses are:

<div data-step-uuid="C0F20831-7FCC-4149-9460-CD5A6F610174" id="bkmrk-strongly-disagree-di"><div data-step-uuid="C0F20831-7FCC-4149-9460-CD5A6F610174"><div><div>- Strongly disagree

**Exact answer** \[1\]: Enter the exact answer with the exact error margin allowed. For example, if the answer were 2.12 with a 0.01 margin of error, the quiz accepts any response between 2.11 and 2.13 (inclusively). By default, the margin is 0.

**Answer in the Range** \[2\]: Enter the range of answers that can be accepted as correct, such as answers between 8 and 10.

**Answer with Precision** \[3\]: Enter the answer with the precision number. The precision number is how many digits are expected in the answer. Precision answers can be negative numbers and may include trailing zeroes. However, student responses will be marked as correct if they omit the trailing zeroes, as long as all preceding digits are correct.

By default, the precision number is 10, but answers can be rounded to a precision of up to 16 in standard or exponential format (e.g. 1e+26). Answers are accepted with or without the ***e*** exponent and are formatted according to the configured precision. Any numerical entries past 16 are truncated for grading and comparison. If any of the potential answers to a numerical question are a precision answer, then the student answer fields will accept precision answers.

If none of the possible answers are precision answers, the student answer fields round to four decimal places.

# How do I create a Text (no question) quiz question?

You can create a question in a quiz that does not include answers or point values. A text (no question) quiz question can be used as a preface to a quiz or a group of questions within a quiz. You may wish to use this type of question to include a passage of text, image, or video that will be referenced in subsequent questions.

**Note**: All questions placed in question groups are shuffled when they appear in students' quizzes. Placing a text (no question) quiz question in a question group will likely disrupt your intended question order.

# How do I bookmark or unbookmark a question bank in a course?

The Question Bank Bookmark feature gives you a way of keeping track of frequently accessed Question Banks. When you bookmark a Question Bank, it can be accessed in any other course you teach. Bookmarks save you time from having to search through Question Banks, especially if your course or account contains a significant number of Question Banks.

You can also remove bookmarks as needed.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-bookmarking-a-questi"><div>- Bookmarking a Question Bank only affects where that Bank can be accessed. Bookmarked banks can still be used and edited like other Question Banks.
- Question Banks you create will be bookmarked by default.

# How do I delete a question bank in a course?

You can delete Question Banks that you no longer use.

Please note that deleting a question bank will affect any quizzes that are associated with the question bank, especially if they have student submissions. For students who haven't yet taken the quiz, they won't be able to see any questions from the quiz bank, but any existing quiz submissions will still show the previously included questions.

# How do I move/copy a question from one question bank to another?

You can easily move or copy individual questions from one question bank to another. Moving questions removes the question from the original question bank. Copying questions leaves a copy in the original question bank and adds a copy to the selected question bank.

You can also move [multiple questions from one question bank to another](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-move-multiple-questions-from-one-question-bank-to/ta-p/1238). Copying questions is not available for multiple questions.

**Note:** You can only copy or move questions between question banks in the same course. However, you can [import a question bank from one course to another](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-a-question-bank-from-one-Canvas-course-to/ta-p/1264).

# How do I reorder questions or question groups in a quiz?

You can move quiz questions or groups after you've created them. You can manually drag and drop the question or group, or you can use the Move option, which is also accessible for keyboard users.

You can also reorder questions within a question group. However, please note that quiz ordering inside a question group is only a quiz management tool for instructors. Your students will always see questions from a group in a random order.

**Note**: To help identify quiz questions in the Move dialog menu, make sure each quiz question or group has a specific name.

# How do I make a quiz available before or after the due date?

You can make a quiz available to all your students before or after the due date by setting availability dates. You can use availability dates for both [New Quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-is-New-Quizzes/ta-p/644773) and Classic Quizzes.

**Note:** If you are looking to change quiz dates for individual students, you can [assign a quiz to an individual student](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-a-quiz-to-everyone-individual-students-or/ta-p/714) or [assign a quiz to a course section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/FRD-Colder-Storage/How-do-I-assign-a-quiz-to-a-course-section/td-p/256612). Additionally, you may be able to [edit due and availability dates for multiple quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-bulk-update-due-dates-and-availability-dates-as-an/ta-p/1195) at one time from the Assignments Index page.

Quizzes have an autosubmit feature tied to the Until (lock) date, which may affect student submissions. Only quiz attempts that have been started are auto-submitted. Common quiz scenarios and date results include the following:

<div id="bkmrk-no-dates%3A-quiz-is-ne"><div><div>- *No dates*: quiz is never marked late and autosubmitted at course conclude (see course settings)
- *Due date only*: quiz is marked late at Due date and autosubmitted at course conclude (see course settings)
- *Due date with Until date*: quiz is marked late at Due date and autosubmitted at Until date
- *Time limit*: quiz is autosubmitted when time expires. The time limit will still expire if a student navigates away from the quiz. The quiz will autosubmit when the student navigates to the quiz page again.
- *Time limit with Until date*: quiz is autosubmitted when time expires unless the Until date expires first

</div></div></div>**Student View**

When students view a quiz, they are able to see the details of the quiz. *Quiz details do not show due and availability dates in relation to the current time*. However, *within* the quiz, Canvas notifies students regarding any upcoming quiz deadlines:

<div id="bkmrk-for-quizzes-with-a-d"><div>- For quizzes with a Due date, the browser displays a notification banner to let students know when the quiz will be marked late (30 minutes prior, 5 minutes prior, and 1 minute prior).
- For quizzes that are close to autosubmitting (using an Until date or the natural course conclude date), the browser displays a notification banner to let students know when the quiz will autosubmit (30 minutes prior, 5 minutes prior, 1 minute prior, and 10 seconds prior).
- For timed quizzes, the browser displays a notification banner if students are not able to complete the quiz in the full allotted time period. The quiz sidebar also displays a timer indicating how many minutes remain to complete the quiz. For example, if a 60-minute quiz has an Until date of 11:59 pm and a student begins the quiz at 11:30 pm, the student will only have 30 minutes to complete the quiz.

When the assignment is published, blank availability date fields allow the assignment to be viewed throughout the entire course.

# How do I assign a quiz to everyone, individual students, or sections?

When creating or editing a quiz, you can assign a quiz to everyone, specific students, or specific sections. You can differentiate quiz assignments with separate [due dates and availability dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-is-the-difference-between-assignment-due-dates-and/ta-p/897).

Only the students or sections specified in the quiz assignments can view the quiz.

When assigning a quiz to individual students or sections, the quiz appears within the [Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Gradebook/ta-p/701) as a column for all students, but grade cells are grayed out for students who have not been included in the quiz. Grades cannot be assigned for students who have not been included in the quiz, and quizzes that are not assigned to a student are not factored into overall grades.

When [Multiple Grading Periods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-grading-periods-in-a-course/ta-p/1030) are enabled in a course, quizzes are also respected against closed grading periods.

- If students have already taken the quiz and you remove Everyone from the Assign to field, attempts and scores for those students will be removed from the quiz. If students have already taken the quiz, you should add individual students using the **Add Assign To** button instead of removing Everyone from the **Assign To** field.
- If your course is using Mastery Paths, you do not have to manually assign assignments to individual students. Learn how to assign an assignment using [Mastery Paths](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-a-conditional-assignment-for-students-to/ta-p/1025).
- If you unassign a student or section to a differentiated quiz you have previously graded, the grade and submission are removed from the assignment. You can restore the submission by reassigning the quiz to the student.

# How do I export quiz content from a course?

If you need to export content from Classic Quizzes, you can export quiz content as a QTI ZIP file. Classic quizzes are exported as QTI 1.2 files.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-an-exported-quiz-wit"><div>- An exported quiz with questions linked to a question bank will not include an export of the question bank. The QTI file will only include questions from the question bank that have been added to the quiz. If you want to import the classic quiz into another course along with question banks, you may prefer to [export your Canvas course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-export-a-Canvas-course/ta-p/785) and select quizzes and question banks in the [course import](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012).
- You can use the QTI zip file to import quiz content between Canvas courses. If you unzip the QTI file, the files are in XML format.

# How do I copy a quiz to another course?

As an instructor, you can copy individual quizzes in one course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled. You can also [send quizzes to other instructors](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-send-a-quiz-to-another-instructor/ta-p/1081) at your institution. When you copy a quiz, any assets within that quiz (images, files, etc.) will be included in your quiz copy.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-to-share-course-cont"><div>- To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.
- Shared content does not count against course or user quotas.
- If you copy the same quiz to the same course more than once, the quiz you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied quiz.
- By default, quiz copies will not include unbookmarked question banks. To ensure your question banks are included, you must [bookmark your question banks](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-bookmark-or-unbookmark-a-question-bank-in-a-course/ta-p/1231).
- Currently, this feature does not support copying quizzes with linked question banks. To copy a quiz with linked question banks, you must use the [Course Import tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012) instead.

# Once I publish a quiz, how do I make additional changes?

Once you publish a quiz and make it available to your students, you can make changes to the quiz. Original quiz data is retained as part of any existing student submissions. However, students who have already opened or completed the quiz will not see any changes you make, which may affect their grades. These types of changes include adding new questions or deleting questions from the original quiz.

Additionally, if you change only the point value of the quiz, the student's submitted quiz will show the updated point value, but the current grade won't change in the Gradebook.

If you only need to make changes to existing quiz questions, after editing the quiz you can use [quiz regrade](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-use-to-regrade-a-quiz-in-a-course/ta-p/1093) to edit certain types of quizzes, or you can add [fudge points](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-adjust-the-point-value-for-an-entire-quiz-using-fudge/ta-p/939) to individual student quiz scores using SpeedGrader. You can also [moderate the quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/Once-I-publish-a-quiz-how-do-I-use-the-Moderate-Quiz-page/ta-p/761) to give additional attempts.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-changing-the-until-d"><div>- Changing the until date for a published quiz will not alter the auto-submit time for students with in-progress submissions.
- Making a change to a quiz while there is an active attempt in session allows students to receive additional time to take their quiz.

You can also grant students extra attempts, grant extra time for timed quizzes, and manually unlock quiz attempts.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-depending-on-the-siz"><div>- Depending on the size of your course, Moderate Quiz information may take a few minutes to update. You may have to refresh the page to view the most current data.
- If you change the quiz settings while a student is taking a quiz, the new settings will not apply until the student has completed the current attempt.

# Once I publish a quiz, what kinds of quiz statistics are available?

You can view quiz statistics for quizzes that have been published and have at least one submission. You can also download comma separate value (CSV) files to view Student Analysis or Item Analysis for each quiz question. For more detailed information about item analysis limitations and calculations, please refer to the [Item Analysis resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Quiz-Item-Analysis/ta-p/387082).

For optimum course performance in the Canvas interface, quiz statistics will only generate for quizzes with 100 or fewer unique questions or 1000 total attempts. For instance, a quiz with 200 questions will not generate quiz statistics. However, a quiz with 75 questions will generate quiz statistics until the quiz has reached 1000 attempts. Results greater than these maximum values can be viewed by downloading the Student Analysis report and viewing the CSV file.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-editing-a-quiz-with-"><div>- Editing a quiz with student submissions may affect quiz statistics. If the Question Breakdown charts no longer correctly display the information you expect after you edit a quiz, the Student Analysis report can provide the correct data.
- Media items do not display in quiz statistics.
- Answers that were edited or created in the Rich Content Editor for a Multiple Answers quiz question do not display in quiz statistics.

It divides students into three groups based on their score on the whole quiz: the top 27%, the middle 46%, and the bottom 27%. The number of correct answers from the bottom group is subtracted from the number of correct answers in the top group, then the total is divided by the size of the group.

Lower discrimination scores are scored +0.24 or lower; good scores are +0.25 or higher. An ideal discrimination index shows students who scored higher on the quiz getting the quiz question right, students who scored lower on the quiz getting the quiz question wrong, and students in the middle range on either side. A discrimination index of zero shows all students getting the quiz question right or wrong.

Ideally, students who did well on the exam should get the question right. If students do well on the overall exam but not on the question, the question itself may need to be revised.

# Once I publish a quiz, how can I give my students extra attempts?

You can grant access to an individual student, several students, or the entire class to have extra attempts on a quiz. If your quiz is locked, you can also manually unlock the quiz for a student, even if the student has not yet taken the quiz.

You can add extra attempts through accessing student quiz results or moderating the quiz.

**Accessing Student Quiz Results** is a quick way to allow an extra attempt for an individual student.

**Moderating the quiz** lets you allow extra attempts for individual students as well as multiple students at once. This option also allows you to grant extra attempts for students who have not yet taken the quiz. For timed quizzes, you can grant [extra time for an attempt](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/Once-I-publish-a-timed-quiz-how-can-I-give-my-students-extra/ta-p/999). If your quiz options allow students to view results [only once after each attempt](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-set-in-a-quiz/ta-p/683), you can also let students view quiz results one more time.

You can also use these options to remove attempts as well. For instance, if you need to remove a student attempt, you can decrease the attempts accordingly.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-extra-attempts-"><div>- When extra attempts are given via the Moderate Quiz option, Canvas keeps the highest quiz score. You can keep the most recent score or an average of all scores by giving all students multiple attempts in the [quiz scoring options.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-set-in-a-quiz/ta-p/683)
- Quiz availability dates still apply when moderating a quiz. If the Until date passes before a student completes their extra attempt(s), any in-progress quizzes auto-submit and the quiz closes, even if the student's attempt has not expired.

# Once I publish a timed quiz, how can I give my students extra time?

If you have set a time limit on your quiz, you can grant access for extra time. If the student hasn't taken the quiz, the extra time will be added to the student's initial attempt and additional attempts. Learn more about [managing extra attempts](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/Once-I-publish-a-quiz-how-can-I-give-my-students-extra-attempts/ta-p/1242).

If a student is currently taking the quiz while you are viewing the Moderate Quiz page, you can extend the quiz time as part of their current attempt. You can choose how many minutes to extend the quiz, and whether you want to add those minutes to the current time or the current (scheduled) end time.

**Note**:

<div id="bkmrk-a-quiz-must-be-publi"><div>- A quiz must be published before you can moderate it. If you would like to manage the quiz moderation options before allowing students to access it, set the quiz Available from date to a future date and publish the quiz. Your students will not receive a notification for an unavailable quiz. Once you’ve made timing moderations, you can unpublish the quiz to save your moderations. You can then continue to edit the quiz prior to publishing it for your students to access.
- Quiz availability dates still apply when moderating a quiz. If the Until date passes when students are taking the quiz with extended time, the quiz auto-submits even if the student's time extension has not expired.
- The maximum time you can extend a current attempt is 1440 minutes (24 hours).
- If you give a student extra time during an in-process quiz with a set availability date and time, their submission time will display as occurring later than the selected availability time.

# How do I manually submit outstanding student quiz submissions?

When a student views a timed quiz and time expires, Canvas auto-submits the quiz. However, if a student navigates away from the quiz page, the quiz submission remains outstanding. On the [Moderate Quiz page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/Once-I-publish-a-quiz-how-do-I-use-the-Moderate-Quiz-page/ta-p/761), Canvas generates a warning message about the outstanding submission. This lesson shows you how to submit any outstanding submissions for a quiz at one time.

When students leave an untimed quiz without submitting, their submissions will not be considered outstanding. These submissions will be submitted and considered outstanding after an event occurs that attempts to calculate their quiz grade. These events may include ending of availability dates, deleting or editing the quiz, attempting to view the outstanding submission, and editing an assignment group.

# How do I set up a quiz to be sent to my institution's student information system (SIS)?

If your institution is using a student information system (SIS) for grading purposes, you can set up a quiz to be sent back to the SIS. However, you must first specify which quiz(zes) in the course should be sent to your SIS as part of the grade publishing process. Each quiz must be modified individually. However, your institution may have already enabled an option for all quizzes to be configured for your SIS.

Quizzes configured to sync to your SIS display a Sync to SIS icon in the [Assignments Index Page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Assignments-Index-Page/ta-p/777) and [Quizzes Index Page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Quizzes-Index-Page/ta-p/1104). You can click the icon to turn SIS sync on or off for an individual quiz.

Each SIS requires specific setup procedures to properly post grades for quizzes. Depending on how quizzes are assigned to students, **some** **quizzes may not be supported**.

**Note:** If your institution has configured an integration between Canvas and your SIS, you may be able to find guides specific to your SIS in the [Instructure Community SIS Guides](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Information-Systems-SIS/ct-p/sis_guides).

# How do I view a quiz log for a student?

You can view quiz logs to view the status of your student quizzes. This feature is designed to help you investigate problems that a student may have in the quiz and gain insight into your quiz questions. Quiz logs are not intended to validate academic integrity or identify cheating for a quiz.

The quiz starts the log when students begin the quiz, so some logs may show that the quiz is in progress. If you gave the student multiple attempts for a quiz, the log will always show the most recent attempt by default. However, you can view any attempt within the log.

Each attempt will display timestamps and quiz action statuses in the quiz log.

If you are looking to investigate potential academic integrity or cheating concerns, we recommend that you first work with the academic affairs office, academic technology office, or other office charged with handling academic misconduct matters within your institution. They can share processes, guidelines, and approved institutional approaches for investigating academic integrity issues that may or may not occur in an online environment.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-quiz-logs-should-not"><div>- Quiz logs should not be used to validate academic integrity or identify occurrences of cheating.
- Quiz logs are only retained for six months.
- Quiz Log Auditing is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable the link to view quiz logs, learn how to manage feature options in the [course features lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-feature-options-for-a-course/ta-p/710).
- The quiz log may show Fill-in-Multiple-Blanks, Matching, Multiple Answers, and Multiple Dropdown questions as being answered at the beginning of the quiz. This action is generated by the autosave component within Canvas quizzes. If a student clicks to answer another question, the quiz will autosave all the questions and show them as being answered. Because of the autosave behavior, the quiz log does not include an accurate log for Fill-in-Multiple-Blanks, Matching, Multiple Answers, and Multiple Dropdown questions.

# What options can I use to regrade a quiz in a course?

If you accidentally published a quiz that needs to be corrected, you can use quiz regrade to edit existing quiz questions and tell Canvas to recalculate student grades.

Quiz regrade only works with specific quiz question types and only applies to students who have already taken the quiz. Adding or removing a question does not trigger the quiz regrade feature. Additionally, changing the point value for a quiz question also does not trigger a quiz regrade; the student's submitted quiz will show the updated point value, but the current grade won't change in the Gradebook. If you have edited your quiz in one of these three ways, you should [moderate the quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/Once-I-publish-a-quiz-how-do-I-use-the-Moderate-Quiz-page/ta-p/761) and let the student retake the quiz.

This feature only applies for students who have already taken the quiz and only the existing quiz questions have been changed.

Once the quiz regrade completes, you will receive an email notification to let you know that the regrade has finished.

Additionally, adding or deleting answers from a question with submissions disables the option to regrade that question.

# How do I view practice quiz results in a course?

You can view results after one or more students have taken the practice quiz.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-students-do-not-rece"><div>- Students do not receive a grade for practice quizzes, even though the quiz results display the number of points earned in the quiz.
- Practice quizzes do not appear in the Syllabus, the Gradebook, or SpeedGrader. To make practice quiz results easier to find for students, you may want to include practice quizzes in a course module. You can also add a due date to the practice quiz so it displays in the student's To Do list and List View dashboard.
- Students can view practice quiz results from the quiz submission details page. Practice quiz results do not display on the student grades page.
- To view responses to essay questions, view individual submissions or download the Student Analysis report.

# How do I regrade a True/False quiz question?

If you accidentally published a quiz with an existing true/false question that needs to be corrected, you can use quiz regrade to edit the question and update student grades. Learn more about [quiz regrade options](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-options-can-I-use-to-regrade-a-quiz-in-a-course/ta-p/1093).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-quiz-regrade-only-ap"><div>- Quiz regrade only applies to students who have already taken the quiz.
- Adding or removing a question as well as changing the point value for the multiple choice question does not trigger the quiz regrade feature.
- Adding or deleting answers from a true/false question with submissions disables the option to regrade that question.

# How do I create a survey in my course?

You can use surveys to receive feedback from your students or give them some extra points by responding to a survey. Graded surveys appear in the Syllabus, Gradebook, Calendar, and To Do Lists.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-student-analysis-for"><div>- Student Analysis for surveys must be downloaded as a CSV file. Item Analysis is not available for surveys.
- Graded surveys do not support the use of fudge points to manually add or remove points from a student's overall quiz score.

# How do I view student peer review comments as an instructor?

You can verify if students completed an assigned peer review. In the peer review page, you can view all peer reviews left on a student's submission. You can also view a single review left by a student for an assigned peer review. Peer review comments also display in SpeedGrader along with any other comments left on the assignment.

Students don't automatically receive a grade for completing a peer review. If you want to award points for peer reviews, you can create a no submission assignment in the gradebook and assign points manually.

**Note:** When anonymous grading is enabled, instructors cannot view peer review comments from the peer review page.

# How do I remove an enrollment from a course section?

You may be able to remove section enrollments within your course Settings in Canvas. Removing an enrollment removes all associated coursework and grades from the course.

Section enrollments also include the Test Student, which is created when you [enable Student View](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-a-course-as-a-test-student-using-Student-View/ta-p/1122). If you need to remove the Test Student from the Gradebook, you can remove the Test Student from the enrolled section. Note that the Test Student may be part of more than one section.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-sections-may-be-adde"><div>- Sections may be added by your institution's student information system (SIS). If a section in your course includes an SIS ID, you may not have permission to remove section enrollments.
- If you want to retain enrollment information for the user, you may be able to [conclude the enrollment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-conclude-an-enrollment-in-a-course/ta-p/744) instead.

# How do I cross-list a section in a course as an instructor?

Cross-listing allows you to move section enrollments from individual courses and combine them into one course. This feature is helpful for instructors who teach several sections of the same course and only want to manage course data in one location. Instructors can allow students to view users in other sections or [limit them to only view users in the same section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-limit-a-user-to-only-interact-with-other-users-in-the/ta-p/1211). Section names do not change when they are cross-listed; the section is just moved to another course.

Cross-listing should be done while courses are unpublished. Coursework is retained with the course, not with the section enrollments, so if a published course is cross-listed, all cross-listed enrollments will lose any associated assignment submissions and grades.

To cross-list a course, you must know the name of the course or the course ID into which you are cross-listing. However, using a course ID is a better way to confirm you are cross-listing a section into the correct course. You can find the course ID by opening the course and viewing the number at the end of the browser URL (e.g. account.instructure.com/courses/XXXXXX).

Sections can only be in one course at a time. Once a section is cross-listed, you can re-cross-list the section into another course if necessary.

This lesson shows how to manually cross-list a section, though cross-listing can also be done through SIS imports.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-cross-listing-a-sect"><div>- Cross-listing a section is a course permission. If you are an instructor and cannot view the cross-list options, this feature has been restricted by your institution.
- If you are an instructor and are allowed to cross-list, you may choose to [de-cross-list a section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-de-cross-list-a-section-in-a-course-as-an-instructor/ta-p/1259). This option means that you can send the section back to the original course. If there is a chance you want to de-cross-list a section, make sure you add yourself to another section in the original course before cross-listing, otherwise you will no longer have access in the original course. If you have already cross-listed a course that you cannot de-cross-list, contact your Canvas admin.
- You must be enrolled in both courses to crosslist a section.
- Be sure you have identified the name and Course ID of the parent, or main, course into which you are cross-listing all sections before you begin.

# How do I de-cross-list a section in a course as an instructor?

If you [cross-listed a section](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-cross-list-a-section-in-a-course-as-an-instructor/ta-p/1261) from a course, you may be able to cross-list the same section back into the original course. This process is called de-cross-listing and returns all student enrollments back to the original course section. However, once you de-cross-list enrollments, all grades and student submissions are removed from the course (since the course can no longer associate the information with any course enrollments). If you need to retain student grades and put them in the original course, you should export the Gradebook and import it into the original course before de-cross-listing the section.

**Note:** If you cannot view the **De-Cross-List this Section** button, you no longer have an enrollment in the original course. For assistance in de-cross-listing a section, please contact your Canvas admin.

# What are the different states of a Canvas course?

Canvas courses have three essential states: unpublished, published, and concluded.

While a course is unpublished, students cannot access or participate in the course. When the course material is deemed ready by the designer, instructor, or administrator, it may be [published.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-publish-a-course/ta-p/1185)

These courses appear in the Future Enrollments section of the Courses menu. Unless you or your Canvas admin [restrict permission](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-restrict-student-access-to-a-course-before-or-after-the/ta-p/1269) to view future courses, and students can access their future enrollments in their Courses list before the course start date.

# How do I publish a course?

If you have permission to publish your course, you can publish your course from the Dashboard, the Course Home Page sidebar, the Course Settings sidebar, or the [Course Setup Checklist](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Course-Setup-Checklist/ta-p/1139).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-you-must-publish-a-c"><div>- You must publish a course before students can access it and its contents. Students cannot see unpublished courses and content.
- Publishing a course is a course permission. If you cannot publish your course, your institution has restricted this feature.
- Publishing your course will send invitations to any users who were manually added to your course. Users added via SIS import will not receive an invitation.
- Course invitations will not be sent until after the course start date. (The start date is commonly the term date, unless the term is being overridden by a specific course or section date in Course Settings.)
- If you are using a Free-for-Teacher account, you cannot publish a course until you have verified your email address.
- If your course has been published and includes grades, you cannot modify the course's published status.

# How do I conclude a course at the end of a term as an instructor?

When a course is completed and you want to provide read-only access to the course, you may be able to conclude the course manually in Canvas. However, if your institution uses software that automatically concludes enrollments, you do not have to manually end your course since the end date of the course will automatically conclude the course on your behalf.

When courses are manually concluded, all enrollments are removed from the course and placed in the prior enrollments page. All users in the course will have read-only access. This change applies to all enrollments, including course instructors. Instructor-based roles will no longer have the same access in the course and will result in loss of course functionality and user information, such as viewing SIS data. If full functionality is still required for instructors but you want to conclude the course for students, learn how to [change the end date of your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/FRD-Colder-Storage/How-do-I-change-the-start-and-end-dates-for-a-course/td-p/257743) instead.

Once a course is concluded, if you do not want students to be able to view the course at all, you can [restrict students from viewing prior courses](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-restrict-student-access-to-a-course-before-or-after-the/ta-p/1269).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-manually-concluding-"><div>- Manually concluding a course is a course permission. If the Conclude this Course button does not appear in Course Settings, this setting has been restricted for your course.
- Manually concluding, or hard concluding, a course results in loss of user access and functionality for all user roles. To preserve user access and information, and course functionality for instructors, consider soft concluding a course using course end dates.
- When a course is concluded, the course end date is automatically populated with the current date and time.

# How do I manage content for a course associated with a blueprint course?

If your content index pages include Blueprint icons, your course is associated with a blueprint course. Blueprint Courses are courses managed as a template and may contain locked objects managed by a Canvas admin, course designer, or other instructor. Locked objects may include attributes for content, points, due dates, and availability dates. Attributes may apply to some or all object types: assignments, discussions, pages, files, and quizzes.

**Locked Objects**

You cannot manage any objects that are locked in your course. Locked objects enforce the attributes defined by your Canvas admin, which can include content, point values, due dates, and availability dates. You can view locked attributes by viewing an individual locked object.

Attributes for locked objects may be changed from the blueprint course at any time. Any change to an attribute retroactively applies to all locked objects in your course. If an attribute is changed in the blueprint course, any locked attributes in your course that vary from locked attributes in the blueprint course will trigger unsynced changes in the blueprint course and override your course.

Course Settings, including Course Navigation, can also be part of a blueprint course sync.

**Unlocked Objects**

You can manage any objects that are unlocked in your course. If you modify any unlocked objects, unlocked objects are not overwritten with any synced changes from the blueprint course. Additionally, any new objects you create in your course do not include a blueprint icon and cannot be associated with the blueprint course.

Please note that unlocked objects from the blueprint can be locked at any time. If you've previously removed an unlocked object from your course, any objects that are later locked in the blueprint course will be replaced in your course.

**Object Management**

This lesson shows how to view objects from the Assignments page. Locked and unlocked objects also display in the Files, Modules, Pages, and Quizzes pages.

In Modules, only individual module items can be locked. You can manually manage modules and unlocked objects within the modules. However, be aware of the following behaviors that may apply at any time:

<div id="bkmrk-new-modules-may-disp"><div>- New modules may display at the bottom of the Modules page. These modules are new modules added to the blueprint course and have been synced to associated courses.
- If you rearrange modules or module items, any additional course syncs will update your modules to the same structure in the blueprint course. If you move a module item to another module, the module item will exist in both modules.
- If you delete a module created from the blueprint course, the module will not be restored in additional course syncs.
- If you create new module items, any additional course syncs will retain your new item, but it will be reordered above all blueprint synced module items.

</div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-to-be-notified-of-sy"><div>- To be notified of synced updates from a blueprint course, enable the Blueprint sync notification in User Settings. You can also view the [latest Blueprint sync information](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-blueprint-sync-information-for-a-course/ta-p/1218) in Course Settings.
- To view if your course is a blueprint course, view the [Course Details page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-a-course/ta-p/1037) in Course Settings. If your course is a blueprint course, you can [lock course objects](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-lock-course-objects-in-a-blueprint-course-as-an/ta-p/1278) and [sync course objects](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-sync-course-content-in-a-blueprint-course-as-an/ta-p/1271) to associated courses.

# How do I lock course objects in a blueprint course as an instructor?

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-are-enrolled-"><div><div><div><div><main id="bkmrk-if-you-are-enrolled--0"><article>If you are enrolled in a blueprint course as an instructor, you can lock and unlock course objects and sync content for the blueprint course. Depending on your admin's preference, locked objects may include attributes for content, points, due dates, and availability dates. Attributes may apply to some or all object types: assignments, discussions, pages, files, and quizzes.

If you are not sure how objects are defined for the course, you can view locked attributes by viewing an individual object. Attributes for locked objects may be changed by an admin in the blueprint at any time.

**Locked Objects**

Locking an object in a course enforces the attributes defined by your Canvas admin. Any change to an attribute retroactively applies to all locked objects in the associated course. If an attribute is enabled for locked objects in the blueprint course, any locked attributes in the associated course that vary from locked attributes in the blueprint course will trigger unsynced changes in the blueprint course and override the associated course objects.

Locking or unlocking an object applies immediately to all associated courses. However, the change will still be noted as an unsynced change and will not appear in the Sync History page until the sync is complete. Additionally, changes are not identified as unsynced change until the page is refreshed.

**Unlocked Objects**

Objects that are unlocked can be managed by a course instructor in the associated course like any other Canvas object. If the blueprint course is synced and the instructor has modified unlocked objects in the associated course, unlocked objects are not overwritten with the synced changes.

Unlocked blueprint objects can be locked at any time. If you lock an unpublished object, and that object was previously removed from an associated course, the object will be replaced in the associated course.

**Object Management**

This article shows how to lock an object from the Assignments page. Objects can also be managed in the Files, Modules, Pages, and Quizzes pages.

In Modules, only individual module items can be locked. Changes to the module structure are triggered as part of a course sync.

**Notes:**

<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>- You can only lock and unlock objects created in the blueprint course. Any new objects added to an associated course by an instructor do not include a blueprint icon and are not associated with the blueprint course.

# How do I sync course content in a blueprint course as an instructor?

If you are enrolled in a blueprint course as an instructor, you can sync blueprint content changes to associated courses.

**Content Sync**

After a change is made to an object or attribute, the blueprint course sidebar displays a sync option indicating that unsynced changes have been made in the course. Content can be synced at any time.

All course content will be included in a blueprint sync, regardless of whether content is locked. Changed content will always overwrite the existing content in the associated courses for all locked objects. Content that can be managed by an instructor or new content created in an associated course by the instructor is not affected.

Notifications within associated courses can only be sent if the notification trigger has not yet occurred. Features such as announcements in a blueprint course may need to be created as a delayed post so the announcement displays in the associated course after syncing course content.

**Content State**

The sync will include the state of each object as it exists in the blueprint course. For instance, if an assignment is unpublished in the blueprint course, it will also be unpublished in the associated course. However, once the state is changed in the associated course, the state within the blueprint course will no longer apply.

**Modules Exceptions**

If a blueprint course includes Modules, changes to the modules structure are triggered as part of a course sync. Modules cannot be locked, but course state applies to all individual module items.

The following sync exceptions apply for Modules content:

<div id="bkmrk-associated-courses-m"><div>- Associated courses match the modules structure initially created in the blueprint course. Any additional modules and their content added to the blueprint course and synced to associated courses will always be added to the bottom of the Modules page in the associated courses.
- If modules or module items are rearranged in an associated course, the module order will be updated to match the blueprint course structure in the next sync. If a module item in an associated course is moved to another module, the module item will exist in both modules.
- Modules created from a blueprint course and deleted from an associated course will not be restored in additional course syncs.
- Manually created module items in an associated course will remain in the module but will display above all blueprint synced module items. Imported module items in associated courses will be removed during blueprint sync.

</div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-changes-within-cours"><div>- Changes within Course Settings do not trigger unsynced changes. The course only recognizes unsynced changes when a change is made to course content.
- Associated courses display the [latest blueprint sync information](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-blueprint-sync-information-for-a-course/ta-p/1218) in Course Settings.
- Blueprint courses do not sync certain course settings to associated courses, including timezone, term, and course format.
- For details on what course settings and features are synced or not, refer to [Blueprint Sync Functionalities](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Blueprint-Sync-Functionalities/ta-p/628548).

# How do I view the sync history for a blueprint course as an instructor?

If you are enrolled in a blueprint course as an instructor, you can [sync blueprint content changes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-sync-course-content-in-a-blueprint-course-as-an/ta-p/1271) to associated courses. Once a sync has been made in a blueprint course to associated courses, the sync is recorded in the Sync History page. You can view Sync History to view prior syncs and details about the sync.

The Sync History page records the last five syncs to the blueprint course.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-associated-courses-d"><div>- Associated courses display the [latest blueprint sync information](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-blueprint-sync-information-for-a-course/ta-p/1218) in Course Settings.
- If sync history shows no sync details, the blueprint course was being synced to an associated course by an admin. The sync history for association syncs shows the date and time the sync was made but no additional details are included.
- For details on what course settings and features are synced or not, refer to [Blueprint Sync Functionalities](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Blueprint-Sync-Functionalities/ta-p/628548).

# How do I view the blueprint sync information for a course associated with a blueprint course?

If your content index pages include Blueprint icons, your course is associated with a blueprint course. Blueprint Courses are courses managed as a template, and changes to locked objects can be synced from the blueprint course to your course at any time. However, you can [manage any unlocked course content](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-content-for-a-course-associated-with-a-blueprint/ta-p/1282) in your course.

You can view the latest information about a blueprint sync in Course Settings. The blueprint information contains details about the content or other attributes changed in your course.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-to-be-notified-of-sy"><div>- To be notified of synced updates from a blueprint course, enable the Blueprint sync notification in User Settings.
- For details on what course settings and features are synced or not, refer to [Blueprint Sync Functionalities](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Blueprint-Sync-Functionalities/ta-p/628548).

# How do I add an image to a course card in the Dashboard?

If your institution allows, you can upload an image to display behind the course card in the [Canvas Dashboard](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/How-do-I-use-the-Dashboard-as-an-instructor/ta-p/644812). Accepted images include JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG files.

When added to a course, images display behind a color overlay in the course card. The overlay color is a user setting defined individually by each user in the Dashboard. Although the color overlay can be completely removed by a user, best practice is to use an image that can display well behind a variety of colors.

**Note:** Course card images are categorized as decorative images for screen readers and are set at a size of 262 pixels by 146 pixels.

# How do I change the start and end dates for a course?

By default, students can participate in courses within the term start and end dates set for your entire institution. However, as an instructor, you may need to change the participation start and end dates for your course. Dates can be shorter than or overlap the term dates. For more information, view the interactive [Student Course Visibility and Participation flowchart](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Student-Course-Visibility-and-Participation-Flowchart/ta-p/387094).

**Limit User Participation Dates**

You can limit user participation to certain dates by setting course participation dates. Participation means that students can submit assignments, post discussions, upload files, or take part in any other action-based task within a course. If you set course participation dates, students can accept the course invitation, access the course, and look at content, but they cannot fully participate until the first day of the course. When the course is concluded, the course is placed in a read-only state.

**Dashboard Considerations**

The Student participation dates may also affect courses that have been marked as a favorite and display in the Dashboard. If a course includes course participation dates, students cannot participate in the course after the end date, and the course will be removed from the Dashboard.

Moreover, if term dates are being used as course participation dates, the course will not be removed from the Dashboard until the course is concluded via term dates.

**Restrict Course Access**

If you do not want students to view any content in the course until the course start date, Course Settings also allows you to restrict students from being able to access content. You can also choose to [restrict all course access](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-restrict-student-access-to-a-course-before-or-after-the/ta-p/1269) after the course has concluded.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-change"><div>- If you cannot change what is displayed in the Participation drop-down menu, your institution has restricted instructors from modifying course availability dates.
- You can only change the course end date when your enrollment is active. Course dates cannot be changed once your enrollment has concluded for the course.

# How do I restrict student access to a course before or after the course dates?

As an instructor, you may be able to restrict student access to your course before or after the [course participation dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-start-and-end-dates-for-a-course/ta-p/452354). By default, course participation dates are limited to term dates. You can restrict students from viewing the course before or after term dates. Or, if your course has set course participation dates, you can restrict students from viewing the course before or after the set course dates. For more information, view the interactive [Student Course Visibility and Participation flowchart](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Student-Course-Visibility-and-Participation-Flowchart/ta-p/387094) and [Course Participation Access During and After Course Dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Course-Participation-Access-During-and-After-Course-Dates/ta-p/612280).

Please be aware that the settings for student access are already set by your institutional admin. If settings are available to you, you can modify them for your course. If settings are locked, you cannot change the settings for your course.

**Restrict students from viewing course before term or course start date**: When a student enrolls in a future course, the course displays in the Future Enrollments section in the student's Courses list. Once a course is published, the course displays an invitation to join the course. When students join a future course, they can view course content at any time before the course begins. If your course participation dates are limited to term dates, you can restrict students from viewing course content before the term start date by enabling the Restrict students from viewing course before term start date option. If your course participation dates are limited to set course dates, you can restrict students from viewing course content before the course start date by enabling the Restrict students from viewing course before course start date option. Course dates override term dates. If the course start date is after the term start date, you must enable this option if you want to restrict access before the course start date. If course participation is limited to set course participation dates and a start date has not been added, students can access the course prior to term start date.

**Restrict students from viewing course after term or course end date**: Once a course has concluded, students can still view the course but all content is displayed in a read-only state. If your course participation dates are limited to term dates, you can restrict students from viewing course content after the term end date by enabling the Restrict students from viewing course after term end date option. If your course participation dates are limited to set course dates, you can restrict students from viewing course content after the course end date by enabling the Restrict students from viewing course after course end date option. Course dates override term dates. If the course end date is after the term start date, you must enable this option if you want to restrict access after the course end date. If course participation is limited to set course participation dates and an end date has not been added, students can access the course after the term end date.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-although-any%C2%A0changed"><div>- Although any [changed section dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-start-and-end-dates-for-a-course-section-as/ta-p/1265) override course dates, student access restrictions cannot be set at the section level, and restriction options apply to all sections within the course.
- Restricting student access does not apply to users who do not have course enrollments and are accessing the course through [Public or Institution visibility options](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/FRD-Colder-Storage/How-do-I-customize-visibility-options-for-course-content/td-p/258300).

# How do I enable SpeedGrader to launch filtered by student group?

In large courses with many student groups, instructors may wish to filter SpeedGrader by student groups. When the Launch SpeedGrader Filter by Student Group setting is enabled, you must select a student group when you [open SpeedGrader to grade an assignment, quiz, or graded discussion](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-get-to-SpeedGrader-from-an-assignment-quiz-or-graded/ta-p/759) or [from the Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-get-to-SpeedGrader-from-the-Gradebook/ta-p/925). Only students from the selected group will display in SpeedGrader.

When this option is enabled, certain areas that open SpeedGrader will prompt you to select a student group to view in SpeedGrader. In areas that do not provide this option, SpeedGrader will open filtered to the first group that contains students. You can change the student group that opens by first [selecting a student group in the New Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-filter-columns-and-rows-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/1016). However, if you open SpeedGrader for a specific student, SpeedGrader will open filtered by the first available student group in which the student is a member. Additionally, if you open SpeedGrader from a specific student who is not a member of a student group, group filters will not be applied.

# How do I enable a grading scheme for a course?

You can enable an existing grading scheme as your course default grading scheme by editing your Course Settings. If you need to change your course grading scheme at any time, you can [view and manage grading schemes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-and-manage-grading-schemes-in-a-course/ta-p/1188).

Course assignments use the course default grading scheme, or you can [select another grading scheme for an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-grading-scheme-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1066).

If you want to disable grading schemes for your entire course, you can deselect the grading scheme checkbox in Course Settings and your course will no longer be associated with a grading scheme. If you choose to use a grading scheme at a later time, you will have to re-enable a grading scheme.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-in-a-course-export%2C-"><div>- In a course export, the enabled course grading scheme is copied as the default grading scheme.
- Using an account-level grading scheme built by your institution links the scheme into your course—it does not import as a new scheme on the course level.

# How do I use grading schemes in a course?

A grading scheme is a set of criteria that measures varying levels of achievement in a course. Course-level grading schemes are grading schemes that you can create and enable for a course or assignment. Account-level grading schemes are grading schemes created by your institution that you can use in a course or assignment. Without a grading scheme, scores are not measured against any specific standard.

You can [enable a grading scheme](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-enable-a-grading-scheme-for-a-course/ta-p/1042) created by your institution, you can [add a new grading scheme](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-grading-scheme-in-a-course/ta-p/1054) specific to your course, and you can [view and manage grading schemes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-and-manage-grading-schemes-in-a-course/ta-p/1188).

[View a video about Grading Schemes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Video-Guide/Grading-Schemes-Admins/ta-p/383872).

## Common Grading Schemes

Grading schemes are built based on points and percentage ranges, and each percentage range is assigned a name value. You can create any type of grading scheme by editing the name and percentage range for each item. When enabling a grading scheme for a course, the grading scheme is applied to the students' final grades in addition to the overall percentage.

**Notes:**

<div data-step-uuid="3dfa0040-e674-48cf-af07-eba84f394dba" id="bkmrk-grading-schemes-only"><div data-step-uuid="3dfa0040-e674-48cf-af07-eba84f394dba"><div><div>- Grading schemes only support two decimal places.
- The only scores allowed in the Gradebook are those defined in the grading scheme.
- Gradebook entries that are not specifically defined in the grading scheme revert back to the icon showing that the submission needs to be graded. Depending on an assignment's display grade, some Gradebook entries cannot convert to a grading scheme.

</div></div><div data-step-uuid="32956375-770b-41a3-8f2b-bc076114b3e2"></div></div></div>### Letter Grades

<div data-step-uuid="3dfa0040-e674-48cf-af07-eba84f394dba" id="bkmrk-"><div data-step-uuid="3dfa0040-e674-48cf-af07-eba84f394dba"><div data-step-uuid="32956375-770b-41a3-8f2b-bc076114b3e2"><div>[![Letter Grades](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/260/523/medium/45a04704-659c-41ce-aa39-baaae2a68c5e.png)](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/260/523/original/45a04704-659c-41ce-aa39-baaae2a68c5e.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>Letter Grades is the most traditional type of grading scheme and is the default format for new grading schemes. Only supported scores are allowed in the Gradebook, so if you build a letter grade scheme with name values for only A, B, and C, you cannot enter a score that converts to an A- or B+.

### Performance

<div data-step-uuid="3dfa0040-e674-48cf-af07-eba84f394dba" id="bkmrk--0"><div data-step-uuid="3dfa0040-e674-48cf-af07-eba84f394dba"><div data-step-uuid="a0239157-3141-440d-b2b8-0a7a918483d7"><div>![Performance](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/260/526/original/a9712af5-633f-44cf-90db-eb476e07ed39.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>Performance grading schemes are based on a standard of individual performance. Only supported scores are allowed in the Gradebook, so if you build a performance scheme with the name values of only *Excellent* and *Poor*, you cannot enter a score of *Good*.

### Points

<div data-step-uuid="3dfa0040-e674-48cf-af07-eba84f394dba" id="bkmrk--1"><div data-step-uuid="3dfa0040-e674-48cf-af07-eba84f394dba"><div data-step-uuid="2f9fccbd-cc47-44b4-ae34-ddbfb4447666"><div>![Points](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/008/260/528/original/a81a9a7d-4025-4441-8b3e-c67ce088a90f.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>Points grading schemes are based on a set of points in a range. When the course grading scheme is point-based, Assignment Group totals and Final Score display a tooltip of raw earned points and total points. In the gradebook cell, points display scaled points as fractions.

**Note:** When the Final Grade Override feature option is enabled for an institution and a course is using a point-based grading scheme, instructors can override the grade with a letter grade only.

For instance, if an assignment is worth 10 points and the student earns 9, you can input 9 or 90% (which displays the grade defined in the percentage range).
- When an assignment grade display is specifically set to Letter Grade, you can also input a letter grade directly, such as an A-.

</div></div></div></div>For **Performance schemes**, you can input scores in the Gradebook by points, percentage, or performance value. For instance, if an assignment is worth 10 points and the student earns 9, you can input 9 or 90% (which displays the performance defined in the percentage range). You can also input a performance value directly.

**Note:** Grading schemes do not apply to Assignment Group columns in the Gradebook.

# How do I customize visibility options for a course or course content?

Course visibility options can be customized and allow access to different user roles. The visibility setting offers three choices for a course or course content:

<div id="bkmrk-course%3A-the-course-o"><div><div>- **Course**: The course or course content is available to all users associated (enrolled) in the course. This option is the default setting.
- **Institution**: The course or course content is available to users associated with this institution. This option allows users in your institution to view your course before they enroll in the course. For this option, users can only view the course if [course self-enrollment is enabled](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-enable-course-self-enrollment-with-a-join-code-or/ta-p/830) or the course is included in the [Public Course Index](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-include-a-course-in-the-Public-Course-Index/ta-p/812). The course content shown to authenticated users is the same content shown to the public for publicly visible courses.
- **Public**: The course or course content is available to anyone with the URL. If a public course is unaccessible to unauthenticated users, your institution may require a login and password to view all courses within their Canvas instance.

</div></div></div>To learn more about visibility options, view the [Canvas Course Visibility Options resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Course-Visibility-Options/ta-p/387053).

**Note**: If the Visibility option cannot be changed, you do not have permission to manage visibility settings. Please contact your Canvas administrator or Canvas Support for assistance.

# How do I set a Creative Commons license for a course?

By default, the content you create in your course is considered copyrighted and private. However, if you want to make your course available to others for reuse, you can set a Creative Commons license for your course that specifies how you will let others copy, distribute, or display your work. The benefit of using Creative Commons licenses is that other instructors can use and build and improve upon your own content. This sort of creative collaboration can add value to your curriculum. You can reuse other users' content if it has a Creative Commons license.

Licenses range from restrictive use to public domain. If you are not sure what type of license you need, learn more about [Creative Commons licensing](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/). While setting a license, you can also use the Help icon to determine which type of Creative Commons license is best for you. You can change your course license at any time.

You can set a license for both private and public courses. Learn how to make your course available to users through [course visibility options](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-customize-visibility-options-for-a-course-or-course/ta-p/844).

**Note**: If you are using Canvas Commons, the license you select for your course is not associated with the content license set for a shared resource.

# How do I include a course in the Public Course Index?

The public course index is a collection of all courses in your institution that can be viewed publicly. In relation to the index, the word public references the index, not the courses; courses in the index may be public or private courses. Learn how to view the [Public Course Index](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Colder-Storage/How-do-I-view-my-institution-s-Public-Course-Index-as-an/td-p/260629).

If you want to include your course as part of the public course index, you can select the course index visibility option in course settings. You can also create a description for your course as part of the catalog listing.

To learn more about visibility options, view the [Canvas Course Visibility Options resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Course-Visibility-Options/ta-p/387053).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-the-public-course-in-0"><div>- The Public Course Index is currently an [account setting](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-an-account/ta-p/194) and must be enabled by your institutional admin.
- If your course is enabled for self-enrollment, you can [add a Join button](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-enable-course-self-enrollment-with-a-join-code-or/ta-p/830) to allow users to self-enroll at any time. This option does not have to be enabled to include a course in the Public Course Index, but students who view the course will not be able to contribute to any discussions, quizzes, or assignments unless they are enrolled.
- If a course includes an end date, the course is not automatically removed from the Public Course Index.

# How do I set a course format?

You can set the format for a course in Course Settings. Course format shows whether the course is intended to be an on-campus course, a online course, or a blended course. Blended courses can sometimes be called hybrid courses, but the interpretation can be defined by your institution.

For admins, currently course format reporting can only be accessed through the [Courses API](https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/courses.html) or the Provisioning Report (Courses CSV configuration) in Account Settings.

# How do I change the format of a course ePub export file?

As an instructor, you can allow users to [download your course as an ePub file](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/FRD-Colder-Storage/How-do-I-view-course-content-offline-as-an-ePub-file-as-an/td-p/255898) using an ePub reader. You can also select the format for the course ePub file.

The default ePub organization is by module, meaning only items that students have access to view in each module will be included in the ePub file. Locked modules list either their pre-requisites or the unlock date, as well as the items that are contained within that module (though not the actual content of those items themselves).

If you do not want the ePub file to be organized by Modules, you can choose to set your course organization by content type (e.g. assignments, quizzes, etc.).

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-epub-exporting-is-cu"><div>- ePub Exporting is currently a course feature option. To enable this feature, learn how to manage feature options in the [course features lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-feature-options-for-a-course/ta-p/710). If the ePub Exporting option is not available for your course, your institution admin has disabled and locked the ePub [account feature option](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Feature-Option-Summary/ta-p/531316).
- If your account does not display the ePub Export option, your institution may only allow you to [manage offline content as an HTML file](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-allow-course-content-to-be-exported-as-an-offline-HTML/ta-p/893). The offline content feature will override the ePub Exporting feature option, as both features cannot be used together.

# How do I allow course content to be exported as an offline HTML file?

If your institution has enabled offline content, you can allow users in your course to [download course content as an HTML file](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-course-content-offline-as-an-HTML-file-as-an/ta-p/737) in the Modules page. This feature supports courses that use complex HTML or dynamic linking to downloaded files. Users can view the HTML file on a computer any time.

Exports are based on modules. To use this feature, you must allow students to view modules in the course, either by displaying the Modules link in Course Navigation or enabling modules as the Course Home Page layout.

Course content export packages include all course files, pages, and embedded files added to a module and are viewable as long as the user has permission. Content items locked by modules or by date are not included in offline content and show that the content is not available. Export packages do not include media files embedded from course files.

Exported content does not expire, so please ensure your institution has specific online user agreement guidelines as exported content files cannot be managed by the institution. When exporting content, users are notified that they may not reproduce or communicate any of the content in the course, including files exported from the course, without the prior written permission of their institution.

**Note:** If your course does not display the Offline Content option, your institution has not enabled this feature. However, you may be able to allow course content to be downloaded as an ePub file and [manage the ePub export format](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-format-of-a-course-ePub-export-file/ta-p/935).

# How do I enable course self-enrollment with a join code or secret URL?

If your Canvas admin has enabled self enrollment for your institution, you can enable self enrollment in your course. Self-enrollment allows a student to sign up for a course using a secret URL or code. Self-enrollment can be enabled for a course whether or not the course is publicly visible.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-cannot-view-t"><div>- If you cannot view the options for self enrollment, your admin has disabled this setting for your institution.
- Instructors are not notified when a student self-enrolls.

# How do I hide totals in my students' grade summaries?

In Course Settings, instructors have the option to hide total grades from students. By default, students can see the totals for assignment groups when they [view their course grades](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-view-my-grades-in-a-current-course/ta-p/493). However, for courses that use weighted assignment groups, the assignment group totals are always hidden from students.

If your course is using [Multiple Grading Periods](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-grading-periods-in-a-course/ta-p/1030), this setting restricts students from viewing grades in any grading period.

# How do I hide grade distribution scoring details from students?

Instructors can hide the box and whisker plot (grade distribution) graphs to keep students from viewing the summary statistics of the class and figuring out each others' grades. By default, the whisker graph is on. When the grade distribution graph is hidden, students cannot view any aspect of the graph, including the high, low, and mean scores.

**Note:** The grade distribution graph displays for students after five or more students submit the assignment and remains visible for instructors after hiding the graph from students.

# How do I restrict the viewing of quantitative data in a course?

In course settings, you can prevent students from viewing grades as points and allow them to view only letter grades and comments. When selected in [course settings](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-a-course/ta-p/1037), the Restrict view of quantitative data checkbox limits the display of course quantitative (numeric) grading data. Students and observers can view only qualitative data, which includes letter grades and comments.

Points are converted to a letter grade and points possible are hidden. All other grading information is visible.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-the-course-does-n"><div>- If the course does not have a [custom grading scheme](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-grading-schemes-in-a-course/ta-p/870), the Default Canvas Grading Scheme is used.
- When the quantitative data restriction setting is enabled, Admins, Instructors, and TAs can still see quantitative data.
- Restricting the view of quantitative data is partially supported with classic quizzes. When the quantitative data restriction setting is enabled, students and observers cannot view numeric scores on the Grades page, but they can still view numeric scores when [viewing classic quiz result details](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-view-quiz-results-as-a-student/ta-p/335).
- The course setting is only available if your admin [enables it for the account](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-restrict-the-viewing-of-quantitative-data-in-an-account/ta-p/580317).

# How do I disable announcement replies for an entire course?

By default, comment replies are disabled for announcements unless enabled in an individual announcement. However, you can disable comments for announcements and have that setting applied to every announcement throughout the entire course. When this setting is applied, you cannot select the option to allow users to comment when creating an announcement.

If you enable announcement replies, only newly created announcements will be able to allow user replies. Any existing announcements will remain locked and must be [opened to comments individually](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-allow-or-disallow-announcement-replies-in-a-course/ta-p/707) in the Announcements page.

**Note**: Depending on your institution's preference, comments may already be disabled in the course.

# How do I validate links in a course?

As an instructor, you can verify links to course content throughout your course to ensure they are valid. You can check these links using the course link validator, which searches through course content and returns invalid or unresponsive course content links in both published and unpublished content. However, please note that some links flagged as unresponsive are inaccessible by Canvas servers and will still work for students.

The link validator also includes deleted links. Deleted links are links that are still in the course, but their linked content has been deleted (such as a course file or page).

If the link validator does not detect any broken links in your course, Canvas may display a celebration. The link validator celebration feature option must be enabled by an account admin. However, you can [disable link validator celebrations in your user settings](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-confetti-animations-in-Canvas-as-an-instructor/ta-p/1258).

**Note:** The link validator does not validate mailto (email address) links.

# How do I view a course as a test student using Student View?

You can view a course the same way that your students view your course through Student View. Enabling Student View creates a Test Student in your course. You can also activate Student View in your Course Settings.

To see the student's perspective on Canvas, use Student View to view the course, post and reply to discussions, submit assignments, view grades, view people, view pages, view the syllabus, view quizzes, view the calendar, and view the scheduler (if enabled).

You can reset Test Student data at any time; however, Test Student activity that involves interactions with other students cannot be removed, such as discussion replies. Test Student data that involves interactions with other students are retained even if the test student is removed from section enrollments.

Attendance, conferences, conversations inbox, collaborations, differentiated assignments, external apps, groups, peer reviews, and profiles do not work for the Test Student. You will see only what you, as the instructor, allow your students to see.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-each-canvas-course-h"><div>- Each Canvas course has a separate Test Student account. Whenever you move to a new course you will need to enable Student View for that course.
- Submissions and scores for the Test Student do not affect course analytics.
- To test or preview assignments and discussions as the Test Student, items must be published to the course.
- You can only view the course layout as it is seen by your students. You cannot view student-specific information, such as conversations between students.
- Student View should not be used to test MasteryPaths in the beta or test environment.
- Once you activate Student View, the Test Student is shown at the end of the Gradebook and SpeedGrader and is automatically added to every section in your course. If you want to remove the test student completely, you will have to remove the test student from your [section enrollments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-enrollments-in-a-course-section/ta-p/1057).
- New Quizzes assessments should be previewed in New Quizzes and not taken as the test student. Test Student attempts cannot be reset and will affect analysis reports.

# How do I reset course content?

If you have permission as an instructor, you can reset course content with your course settings in Canvas. However, resetting course content permanently removes all content and it cannot be recovered.

When you reset course content, you reset all content in the course including:

<div id="bkmrk-course-id%E2%80%94external-u"><div><div>- Course ID—external URLs will no longer direct back to the course unless they are manually changed
- LTI tools added at the course level

</div></div></div>Course details and enrollments will remain intact within your course. Following the reset, your course will be unpublished and will not be visible to students. If you added the course to the Dashboard, it will still appear in the Dashboard after a reset.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-course-content-canno"><div>- Course content cannot be reset in Blueprint Courses.
- If the [account feature option](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Feature-Option-Summary/ta-p/531316), Reset UUID on Course Reset, is enabled in your institution, the course UUID is always reset when you reset course content. If you have any questions, contact your admin.

# How do I manage feature options for a course?

Some Canvas features are optional or new and can be turned on or off. This lesson gives an overview of how to manage feature options at the course level. On the course level, you may have the option to implement features on a course-by-course basis. Instructors have no control over user-level features. To view the specific course-level feature options available in Canvas, visit the [Canvas Feature Option Summary resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Feature-Option-Summary/ta-p/531316).

In order for a feature to appear for a course, the feature must be unlocked for your institution by a Canvas admin.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-feature-option-setti"><div>- Feature option settings are never copied from production and always retain their default settings. Feature options must be managed individually in the [test](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-access-the-Canvas-test-environment-as-an-instructor/ta-p/739) and [beta](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-access-the-Canvas-beta-environment-as-an-instructor/ta-p/727) environments.
- Some feature options may not be available in Free-for-Teacher accounts. Please view the [Canvas Account Comparisons resource document](http://bit.ly/cnvs-accounts).
- You can also manage some course functionality by [setting details for a course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-set-details-for-a-course/ta-p/1037).

# How do I use the Gradebook?

The Gradebook helps instructors easily view and enter grades for students. Depending on the Grade display type, grades for each assignment can be viewed as points, percentage, complete or incomplete, GPA scale, or letter grade.

Only graded assignments, graded discussions, graded quizzes, and graded surveys that have been published display in the Gradebook. Not Graded assignments are not included.

The default view in the Gradebook is to view all students at a time, but you can also view students individually in the Individual Gradebook. However, the Individual Gradebook currently does not support all settings and options from the Gradebook.

The following keyboard shortcuts are supported in the Gradebook:

<div id="bkmrk-s%3A-sort-the-grid-on-"><div><div>- S: Sort the grid on the currently selected column. Student name and Notes columns sort alphabetically. Other columns sort by grade (low to high).
- M: Open the menu for the currently selected column.
- Esc: Close the menu for the currently selected column.
- G: Open the Assignment Detail page for the currently selected assignment.
- C: Open the Grade Detail tray for the currently selected assignment.

</div></div></div>[Learn more about the Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-are-Grades-and-the-Gradebook/ta-p/49).

**Note:** If your course includes multiple graders, please note that once you open the Gradebook, all existing Gradebook data is stored in the browser until the page is refreshed. Grades are not dynamically updated with any changes made by other graders in the Gradebook or in SpeedGrader.

# How do I arrange columns in the Gradebook?

You can arrange any column in the Gradebook according to your preference. You can use a preset arrangement by assignment name, due date, points, or module, or you can manually arrange columns. You can also manually increase and decrease the width of any column.

The option to arrange columns affects all the columns in the Gradebook. To only view specific columns, you can also [filter columns by type](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-filter-columns-and-rows-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/1016).

# How do I filter columns and rows in the Gradebook?

The Filter menu allows the Gradebook to be filtered by assignment group, section, modules, student groups, assignment status, submission type, grading period (if applicable), and assignment due dates.

When a filter option is selected, the filter displays at the top of the Gradebook. Multiple filters can be used at the same time.

Filter options will apply to either Gradebook rows or columns. The option to filter columns affects all assignments within the filter. The options to filter rows affects all students within the filter. You can also [arrange columns](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-arrange-columns-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/1018) within filter results.

If multiple students are selected, rows display for all selected students. Likewise, deselecting a student removes the student's row from the Gradebook view.

The Search Students field also respects Concluded and Inactive Enrollment options. If the Concluded Enrollment or Inactive Enrollment options are selected as filters, no Concluded or Inactive enrollments display in the Gradebook.

# How do I view total scores in the Gradebook as if all ungraded assignments were given zero grades?

If enabled by your institution, you can temporarily change the Gradebook view so that grades display as if all ungraded assignments were given a score of zero. **This setting is a visual change only and does not affect grades for students or other users of the Gradebook.**

When this setting is enabled, Canvas will not populate zeros in the Gradebook for student submissions within individual assignments. Only the assignment groups and total columns will visually factor scores of zero into the overall percentages for each student. Actual student grades are not affected.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-if-the-view-ungraded"><div>- If the View Ungraded as 0 option does not display in your Gradebook, this option has not been enabled by your institution.
- The View Ungraded as 0 option also applies to CSV exports. The CSV file displays columns for the Current and Final scores: the Current score reflects the total while ignoring unsubmitted assignments and the Final score counts unsubmitted assignments as zero.

# How do I use the Total column in the Gradebook?

The Total column in the Gradebook displays a running total of all graded assignments in the course, including assignments with hidden grades.

You can customize the Total column in your Gradebook. The Total column can be moved to the front of the Gradebook or sorted to display grades in an ascending or descending order. You can switch your students' total grades from a percentage to a point value in the Gradebook. By default, total grades are shown as a percentage with two decimal places.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-viewing-total-grades"><div>- Viewing total grades as a point value is available only if you use unweighted assignment groups in your course. When [assignment groups are weighted](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-weight-the-final-course-grade-based-on-assignment/ta-p/746), points cannot be displayed for the total grade.
- Viewing the Total column in the Gradebook may be restricted when multiple grading periods are enabled. This feature also limits viewing the total grade in the student Grades page.
- When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course and grading periods are weighted, points cannot be displayed for the total grade.
- If you do not see the Total column, it may be hidden. Learn more about [view options in the Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Gradebook/ta-p/701).

# How do I sort and display student data in the Gradebook?

The Student Name column displays the students in your course. You can view options to sort names by first or last name, SIS ID, Integration ID, and Login ID and display names by either first or last name. You can also choose to view concluded and inactive enrollments.

Additionally, the Secondary Info menu allows secondary information to display below the student’s name. Options include the student’s section, SIS ID, Integration ID, Login ID, Group, or no display. Only one secondary information option can be displayed at one time.

The following keyboard shortcuts are supported in the Gradebook:

<div id="bkmrk-s%3A-sort-the-grid-on-"><div><div>- S: Sort the grid on the currently selected column. Student name and Notes columns sort alphabetically. Other columns sort by grade (low to high).
- M: Open the menu for the currently selected column.
- Esc: Close the menu for the currently selected column.
- G: Open the Assignment Detail page for the currently selected assignment.
- C: Open the Grade Detail tray for the currently selected assignment.

</div></div></div>**Note:** Student names display according to the Sortable Name listed in a user's personal account settings.

# How do I view assignments or students individually in the Gradebook?

The Gradebook Individual View allows instructors to assess one student and one assignment at a time. Fully accessible to screen readers, this Gradebook view allows instructors to sort by section and assignment and contains many of the same settings that are [available in the Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Gradebook/ta-p/701). Late policies, posting policies, and some sorting and filtering options are not currently supported in Individual View.

Like all Gradebook tabs, Individual View is persistent. Once you switch the Gradebook to Individual View, the Gradebook will always display in Individual View until it is switched back to another view.

**Note:** If your course includes multiple graders, please note that once you open the Gradebook, all existing Gradebook data is stored in the browser until the page is refreshed. Grades are not dynamically updated with any changes made by other graders in the Gradebook or SpeedGrader.

# How do I view grades for inactive or concluded student enrollments in the Gradebook?

You can view the grades for inactive and concluded student enrollments in the Gradebook. However, depending on the enrollment type, you may not be able to perform certain actions. Learn more about enrollments types in the [Canvas Enrollment Status Comparison resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Enrollment-Status-Comparison/ta-p/387055).

For concluded student enrollments, all content in the Gradebook is read only and cannot be changed. Grades can also be viewed when viewing concluded enrollments in the People page.

For inactive student enrollments, grades can still be edited. However, inactive students cannot access the course, so they cannot view grades or receive any submission comments or feedback.

**Note**: Inactive and concluded enrollments also show in [downloaded CSV files](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-export-grades-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/809) and SpeedGrader assignment submissions.

# How do I use the Notes column in the Gradebook?

You can use a Notes column in the Gradebook to keep track of extra information in your course, such as extra student information or general notes. The Notes column is not visible to students.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-instructors-can-only"><div>- Instructors can only show and hide the Notes column. Admins can use the API to create additional columns, but they cannot be hidden.
- The Notes column is included in the gradebook export CSV file, and you can add notes via CSV import.

# How do I view the Split Student Names column in the Gradebook?

If enabled by your institution, the Gradebook View menu in individual courses displays the Split Student Names option, which displays student names as last name first.

If a user has a preferred name that is different from their legal name, the legal name is displayed.

When student names are split, the Last Name column can still be sorted by type and order and supports secondary information.

Split names are respected and displayed in the Gradebook CSV export.

# How do I create assignment columns for non-submission assignments in the Gradebook?

Columns in the [Gradebook](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Gradebook/ta-p/701)[ ](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-are-Grades-and-the-Gradebook/ta-p/644760)are only created by adding an assignment in Canvas. If you need to create a column in the Gradebook to use for manual grading, you can create a No Submission or On Paper assignment submission type.

<div id="bkmrk-no-submission%C2%A0assign"><div><div>- *No Submission* assignments are when you do not want students to submit an assignment in Canvas. This assignment type can be used to create extra columns in the Gradebook, create an assignment that involves multiple scores, or give extra credit.
- *On Paper* assignments are when you want students to submit an assignment to you but not through Canvas. This assignment type applies to traditional face-to-face courses or hybrid courses when you want the assignment turned in during class, but you still want to create a column in the Canvas Gradebook for grading purposes. When students view the assignment, they see that the assignment will be submitted on paper.

</div></div></div>To create multiple columns at once, you can [upload changes to the Gradebook.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-grades-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/807)

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-the-gradebook-will-d"><div>- The Gradebook will display unpublished assignments, but you cannot enter grades for unpublished assignments.
- Not Graded assignment types will not appear in the Gradebook.
- For a zero point assignment to factor into a student's grade, you must add at least one additional graded assignment with a positive point value. This additional assignment can be in any assignment group.

You can correct the assignment group warnings by making sure a weighted assignment group has an assignment worth more than zero points, or, if an assignment is supposed to have zero points, adding another assignment with more than zero points to the assignment group.

The **Red Warning Icon** \[2\] notifies you that the entered grade is not supported in the grading scheme. Canvas will also display an invalid grade warning message when an invalid grade is entered.

## Grade Detail Tray Warning Icon

# How do I sort an individual assignment column in the Gradebook?

Each individual assignment column includes options to sort by grade and assignment status. By default, the Gradebook is sorted by student last name in ascending order.

When sorting by status, each grade only displays one status. Sorting may affect any assignments that have been dropped according to a drop rule in the assignments page. The dominant status is always shown, so if an assignment is missing or late but is also a dropped grade, the dropped grade status will be shown. However, you can view the Grade Detail Tray to view additional details about the grade.

The following keyboard shortcuts are supported in the Gradebook:

<div id="bkmrk-s%3A-sort-the-grid-on-"><div><div>- S: Sort the grid on the currently selected column. Student name and Notes columns sort alphabetically. Other columns sort by grade (low to high).
- M: Open the menu for the currently selected column.
- Esc: Close the menu for the currently selected column.
- G: Open the Assignment Detail page for the currently selected assignment.
- C: Open the Grade Detail tray for the currently selected assignment.

</div></div></div>**Note:** Sorting is not available for anonymous assignments.

# How do I change the color for a grading status in the Gradebook?

The Status option allows you to change the default colors in the Gradebook. Each color is a default associated with a Gradebook status: late (blue), missing (red), resubmitted (green), dropped (orange), or excused (yellow). Colors can be adjusted by selecting a default color or using a supported hex code.

Colors are a per-user setting. Colors set in your course apply to any of your other courses that use the Gradebook, however, they do not apply to any other user who may view the Gradebook. Additionally, status names cannot be changed.

Some assignments may have multiple statuses applied (for example, dropped and resubmitted). In this case, some status colors may override other status colors.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-some-colors-may-seem"><div>- Some colors may seem darker if they display in a Gradebook row that has an alternating gray background.
- Depending on your institution, custom gradebook statuses may display. You cannot make changes to the custom statuses.

# How do I use posting policies in a course?

You can use posting policies in the Gradebook to manage assignment grade visibility for students. Posted grades are visible to students in your course. Hidden grades are visible to you in the course gradebook, but students cannot see them.

Posting policies can be set for an entire course and/or individual assignments. Assignment-level posting policies will override the course-level posting policy for that assignment. When a posting policy is set to automatic, grades are automatically posted to students when they are entered. When a posting policy is set to manual, grades must be manually posted to students using the Post grades option before they can be viewed.

Posted grades can also be hidden using the Hide grades option. The Hide grades option only hides grades that are currently visible to students. In order to ensure all future assignment grades are hidden, you will need to use a manual posting policy for the assignment or course.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-it-is-recommended-th"><div>- It is recommended that you set course and assignment posting policies before entering grades.
- In Classic Quizzes, students will not be able to see their quiz responses while quiz grades are hidden.
- In New Quizzes, hiding grades does not affect a student's ability to access their quiz scores. Student visibility of New Quizzes scores must be managed from the [quiz settings menu](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-settings-for-a-quiz-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/581).

You should select a course posting policy based on your general grade posting preference. You can then set posting policies for individual assignments as needed.

You can also hide previously posted grades, especially if you need to fix errors or if grades were posted erroneously.

When students have set grade notification settings, they will receive notifications when grades are posted, as indicated in the flowchart.

Alternatively, you can select a **Manual** posting policy for your course \[2\]. Assignment grades, grading comments and submission annotations are hidden from students until manually posted. Submission Annotations alone will not trigger the option to post grades; a grade or grading comment would need to be entered. Students can see peer review comments when assignment grades are hidden. However, students can only see instructor comments if the instructor posts grades or submission comments.

When you set an individual assignment posting policy, the course posting policy is overridden for that assignment.

For example, if you use an Automatic course posting policy, you may wish to hide assignment grades for a specific assignment until all submissions are graded. You can set a Manual posting policy for the assignment, and grades will remain hidden from student view until you manually post them in your course.

When you post grades for graded submissions and/or submission comments, any ungraded assignment grades that are updated later will remain hidden until manually posted.

# How do I select a grade posting policy for a course in the Gradebook?

In the Gradebook, you can select a default automatic or manual grade posting policy for all course assignments. Posting policies determine grade visibility for students.

By default, Canvas courses use an automatic course posting policy. All assignment grades are visible to students as soon as they are entered in the gradebook. Grades for anonymous and moderated assignments do not post automatically.

If you select a manual course posting policy, all assignment grades remain hidden from student view by default until you [post grades](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-post-grades-for-an-assignment-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/576) for each assignment. If you select a manual course posting policy after assignment grades have already been entered, the policy will not apply retroactively and any posted grades will remain visible. You can [hide posted grades from the assignment's Options menu](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-grades-that-were-previously-posted-in-the/ta-p/721). Additionally, when assignment grades are hidden, students cannot see their assignment grade, instructor comments, or grade change notifications. However, instructors can post comments to students before grades are entered.

Course post policies apply to all course assignments by default. You can also [select a grade posting policy for an individual assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574). Learn more about [using posting policies in your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-posting-policies-in-a-course/ta-p/928) and view the [interactive Student Grade Visibility Flowchart](http://bit.ly/cnvs-grade-visibility-flowchart).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-make-changes-"><div>- If you make changes to an assignment with hidden grades, the total score as you see it (in both the Gradebook and the student Grades page) will be affected. However, students will not see any changes when they view their Grades page. Once you post the assignment grades, the total grade in the student's view will update accordingly.
- Grades for anonymous or moderated assignments must be manually posted. Moderated assignments grades cannot be unhidden until final grades have been posted.
- Students can see peer review comments when assignment grades are hidden. However, students can only see instructor comments if the instructor posts grades or submission comments.
- If you post grades for an assignment with varied due dates, all students will receive score results at the same time.
- Viewing the Total Column in the Gradebook may be restricted when multiple grading periods are enabled.
- In Classic Quizzes, students will not be able to see their quiz responses while quiz grades are hidden.
- In New Quizzes, enabling a posting policy will not affect a student's ability to access their quiz scores. Student visibility of New Quizzes scores must be managed from the [quiz settings menu](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-settings-for-a-quiz-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/581).
- If you copy a course into a new course shell or import course content and include course settings as part of the import, the course posting policy from the original course will be copied into the new course. This will override any grade posting policy settings you have in the new course. Additionally, imported assignments will retain their assignment posting policy from the original course.

# How do I post grades for an assignment in the Gradebook?

You can manually post grades or submission comments for an assignment where student grades have been hidden. Student grades can be hidden in one of three ways: selecting a [manual grade posting policy for an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574), selecting a [manual grading posting policy for a course,](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-a-course-in-the/ta-p/588) or [hiding scores from an assignment's Options menu](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-grades-that-were-previously-posted-in-the/ta-p/721). Manual posting policies automatically hide grades for students and should be set before you enter any grades. The option to hide grades from the assignment's Options menu is only available once grades have been entered.

Grades or comments can be posted to everyone or only to students with graded submissions or submissions with comments. When grades are posted to everyone, students with ungraded submissions will see that their submission does not have a grade on their grades page. When grades are only posted to students with graded submissions, students with ungraded submissions and no submission comments will see an icon on their grades page that indicates grades are still being worked on. However, students with ungraded submissions that have submission comments will be able to view submission comments.

If a manual posting policy is set for an assignment and grades are posted to everyone, the manual posting policy will become inactive and future grades will be posted automatically.

Submission comments can be posted even if no grade is entered. Students will be able to see posted comments before grades are posted.

Learn more about [managing grade visibility in your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-posting-policies-in-a-course/ta-p/928) and view the [interactive Student Grade Visibility Flowchart](http://bit.ly/cnvs-grade-visibility-flowchart).

- If you post grades for an assignment with varied due dates, all students will receive score results at the same time.
- Viewing the Total Column in the Gradebook may be restricted when multiple grading periods are enabled.
- In Classic Quizzes, students will not be able to see their quiz responses while quiz grades are hidden.
- In New Quizzes, hiding grades will not affect a student's ability to access their quiz scores. Student visibility of New Quizzes scores must be managed from the [quiz settings menu](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-settings-for-a-quiz-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/581).
- If your institution uses an SIS, posting grades does not automatically sync grades to your SIS. You must first post grades and then sync them to your SIS.

# How do I hide grades that were previously posted in the Gradebook?

**The Hide Grades feature only affects previously posted grades for an assignment. Best practice suggests that instructors should use this feature sparingly (i.e. to hide grades posted in error). To hide all grades upon entry until you are ready to post them for student view, please** [**set a manual posting policy**](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574) **for your assignment.**

If you need to hide grades or submission comments that have already posted for students to view, you can hide grades and/or comments in the gradebook or [in SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-or-post-assignment-grades-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/1000). This lesson explains how to hide grades for an assignment that has already been graded and is currently displaying grades to students.

The Hide Grades feature only affects previously entered grades and submission comments. If you want newly-entered grades to be hidden from students, you can [set a manual posting policy for an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574) or [set a manual posting policy for a course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-a-course-in-the/ta-p/588). Assignment-level posting policies override course-level policies for that assignment.

When you hide assignment grades and submission comments, the student grades page displays a visibility icon so students know the assignment grade is hidden. Students will be unable to view their grades, including grade and score changes, instructor submission comments, Canvas DocViewer comments, and curved grades for the assignment, until the assignment grades are posted. Additionally, students will not receive grade or instructor comment notifications until the assignment grades are posted. In Gradebook exports and reports, hidden grades are part of unposted grades.

The Hide Grades feature should only be used to temporarily hide grades and comments from student view while grading is in progress. It should not be used to conceal grades for longer than reasonably necessary.

If you do not want students to be able to view their total grade, you can [hide the total grade from students](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-totals-in-my-students-grade-summaries/ta-p/671). Learn more about [managing grade visibility in your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-posting-policies-in-a-course/ta-p/928) and view the [interactive Student Grade Visibility Flowchart](http://bit.ly/cnvs-grade-visibility-flowchart).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-make-changes-"><div>- If you make changes to an assignment with hidden grades, the total score as you see it (in both the Gradebook and the student Grades page) will be affected. However, students will not see any changes when they view their Grades page. Once you post the assignment grades, the total grade in the student's view will update accordingly.
- Anonymous and moderated assignments are hidden by default. Moderated assignments cannot be unhidden until final grades have been posted.
- Students can see peer review comments when assignment grades are hidden. However, students can only see instructor comments if the instructor posts grades or submission comments.
- If you post grades for an assignment with varied due dates, all students will receive score results at the same time.
- Viewing the Total Column in the Gradebook may be restricted when multiple grading periods are enabled.
- In Classic Quizzes, students will not be able to see their quiz responses in Quizzes while quiz grades are hidden.
- In New Quizzes, hiding grades will not affect a student's ability to access their quiz scores. Student visibility of New Quizzes scores must be managed from the [quiz settings menu](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-settings-for-a-quiz-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/581).
- If you have set an automatic post policy [for an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/574) or [for your course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-a-course-in-the/ta-p/588), manually hiding grades only hides assignment scores already in the gradebook. Any scores added to the gradebook after manually hiding grades follow the selected post policy and are visible to students.

# How do I change the status of a submission in the Gradebook?

As needed, you can use the Grade Detail Tray to change the status for an assignment, discussion, or quiz submission. Available statuses include late, missing, excused, or none (no status). You can also change the status for a group assignment. Assignments with a late or missing status will display a label on the student's grades page indicating the status. If you do not want status labels displayed on a student's grades page, set the assignment status to None.

Excused assignments are not calculated as part of a student's total grade. Currently, points are not automatically deducted for assignments with a late status.

When an assignment is excused, the assignment page and the student grade page will show the student that he or she has been excused from the assignment. Students cannot submit excused assignments.

When a missing label is manually applied, the missing label is removed by a new submission or manual removal. Entering a score does not remove a manually-applied missing label.

**Note:** You can [change the status colors](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-color-for-a-grading-status-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/998)[ ](https://canvas.screenstepslive.com/admin/v2/internal_links/815124?type=article&site_id=10425)for each status in the Gradebook; however, you cannot change the status names. You can also [change the status of submissions in the SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-status-of-a-submission-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/488380).

**Note:** When the Automatically apply grade for missing submissions setting is enabled, entering MI or mi in the assignment cell applies the missing status to an assignment.

### Select Excused Status

Assignments with no status (none) \[4\] do not display a label in the Status column of the student grades page.

# How do I send a message to students from the Gradebook?

You can use the Gradebook to send messages to your students. This lesson describes how to message students using the Message Students Who option.

You can also message students individually from the Gradebook by using the [student context card](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-a-context-card-for-a-student-in-a-course/ta-p/608).

Message recipients are filtered based on specific assignment categories:

<div id="bkmrk-have-submitted%E2%80%94stude"><div><div>- **Have submitted**—students who have submitted the assignment, even if they have a grade or not.
- **Have not yet submitted**—students who haven't submitted the assignment, even if they have been manually awarded a grade.
- **Have not been graded**—students whose assignments have not yet been graded (submitted or unsubmitted).
- **Scored less than \[point value\]**—students who earned a grade on their assignment less than X number of points.
- **Scored more than \[point value\]**—students who earned a grade on their assignment more than X number of points.
- **Reassigned**—students who have submitted an assignment and [you have reassigned it](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-reassign-an-assignment-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/469484) to them.

</div></div></div>Although one message most likely will be sent to multiple students at the same time, each student will receive an individual message.

**Note:** You can also [message students through the total column](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Total-column-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/788).

# How do I download all student submissions for an assignment in the Gradebook?

If you want to download all student submissions for an assignment, you can download them from the Gradebook in a bulk download. All submissions are downloaded as a single ZIP file that you can use to grade submissions on your computer offline. If a student has resubmitted an assignment, only the most recent submission will be included in the ZIP file. You can also download assignments from the assignment page.

Bulk downloads can be used for the following submission types: file uploads, text entries (displayed as HTML files), website URLs (displayed as HTML files), and Google Docs submissions.

In bulk downloads, Canvas automatically amends the file name for each submission type:

<div id="bkmrk-for-group-assignment"><div><div>- For group assignments, the file name will include the name of the assigned group.
- For individual student assignments, the file name will include the name of the student (last name first).
- When anonymous grading is enabled, student names are not included in the names of downloaded files.

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-after-downloading-st"><div>- After downloading student files, you can [re-upload all student submissions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-upload-all-student-submissions-for-an-assignment-in-the/ta-p/798) in the Gradebook. However, you cannot change the names of the submission files. Otherwise Canvas will not be able to recognize the files that should be replaced.
- Students with concluded enrollments are not included in the submissions download.

# How do I upload all student submissions for an assignment in the Gradebook?

When you [download all student submissions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-download-all-student-submissions-for-an-assignment-in/ta-p/752) from the Gradebook, you can re-upload the assignment submissions as a bulk upload in your course.

Please make sure you have not changed the names of the submission files from your bulk download. If the file names are changed, please rename them to match how they appeared in the download. With different file names, Canvas will not be able to recognize the files that should be replaced.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-files-must-be-compre"><div>- Files must be compressed as a ZIP file for upload. If you are not sure how to create a ZIP file, please contact your administrator or consult your computer's software manual.
- For best results, please upload submission files in their original format. For instance, if you download a Word document as a .doc, do not convert the file to a .docx.

# How do I enter and edit grades in the Gradebook?

Most likely you will [access SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-get-to-SpeedGrader-from-the-Gradebook/ta-p/925) to enter grades. The grades will appear in the Gradebook when you are done. However, you can manually enter and edit grades in the Gradebook.

Assignments in the Gradebook are always shown with the assignment's point value. However, you can change the assignment to [display grades for a specific grading type.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-enter-grades-for-an-individual-assignment-as-a-specific/ta-p/1007)

You can also use a CSV file to [import grades](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-grades-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/807).

When an assignment score is entered as a letter grade in the Gradebook, the percentage score for the assignment is the upper limit of the range assigned to that letter grade in the grading scheme. If a final grade override is entered as a letter grade, the percentage score for the assignment is the lower limit of the range assigned to that letter grade in the grading scheme.

For example, your course grading scheme may designate a range of 86% to 89% for a B+ letter grade. Entering a B+ for an assignment would assign a percentage of 89% but entering a B+ for a final grade override would assign a percentage of 86%. To ensure students receive a specific percentage for an assignment or final grade, enter the assignment score or grade override as a percentage.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-when-using-different"><div>- When using differentiated assignments, the assignment appears as a column for all students, but grade cells are grayed out for students who are not part of the assignment or an assigned section. Grades cannot be assigned to students who are not part of the assignment or section; those assignments are not factored into overall grades.
- If you unassign a student or section to a differentiated assignment you have previously graded, the grade and submission are removed from the assignment. You can restore the submission by reassigning the assignment to the student.
- When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, you cannot edit grades for any assignment that has at least one student in a closed grading period.
- Depending on [quiz assignment details](https://canvas.screenstepslive.com/admin/v2/internal_links/780619?type=article&site_id=2204), quizzes worth zero points may not display in the Gradebook.
- The [Gradebook History page](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-history-of-all-grading-changes-in-the/ta-p/783) records all grade changes in the Gradebook and can be accessed at any time.

# How do I enter grades for an individual assignment as a specific grading type in the Gradebook?

Each assignment grade defaults to the point value set in the assignment. However, the **Enter Grades as** menu allows you to view the assignment grade to be viewed by percentage. For Letter Grade or GPA assignments, [the grade can also be displayed by the grading scheme set for the assignment.](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-grading-scheme-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1066)

You can change this option before grading in the Gradebook, or if you've graded an assignment from SpeedGrader, you can change the grades display after they've been assigned. The Grade Detail Tray also displays the assignment grade with the preferred Enter Grades as option.

Viewing or entering grades using the **Enter Grades as** option is for grading convenience only and does not affect the actual grade. In the student Grades page, students will always view the point value and the default grade display set in the assignment.

The following grade entry behavior is supported for each applied option in the Enter Grades menu:

**Set to Points**—enter grades as points or percentage

<div id="bkmrk-point-entries-displa"><div><div>- Point entries display as points (e.g. entering 10 for a 10-point assignment displays as 10 points).
- Percentage entries are calculated as a percentage but displayed as the equivalent point value of the percentage (e.g. entering 90% for a 10-point assignment displays as 9 points).
- Grading scheme entries are not supported.

</div></div></div>**Set to Percentage**—enter grades as percentage or grading scheme (if set in the assignment)

<div id="bkmrk-point-values-are-not"><div><div>- Point values are not supported. Entries without a percent symbol are always calculated as a percentage (e.g. entering 20 as a point value calculates and displays as 20%).
- Percentage entries display as a percentage (e.g. entering 80% for a 10-point assignment displays as 80%). The percent symbol is not required.
- Grading scheme values calculate according to the assignment's grading scheme and display as the highest percentage for the corresponding range in the grading scheme (e.g. in a grading scheme where B ranges from 84% to 87%, entering a B displays as 87%). Course grading schemes are not supported.

</div></div></div>**Set to Grading Scheme**—enter grades as points, percentage, or grading scheme

<div id="bkmrk-point-entries-calcul"><div><div>- Point entries calculate according to the equivalent grading scheme of the point value (e.g. in a grading scheme where B ranges from 84% to 87%, entering 26 for a 30-point assignment calculates as 86.67% and displays as a B).
- Percentage entries are calculated as percentages but displayed as the equivalent grading scheme for the percentage (e.g. in a grading scheme where A ranges from 94% to 100%, entering 94% displays as an A).
- Grading scheme values display as the grading scheme value according to the assignment's grading scheme (entering an A displays as an A). Course grading schemes are not supported.

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-enter-grades-as-"><div>- The Enter Grades as option is not available for complete/incomplete assignment types.
- When an assignment score is entered as a letter grade in the Gradebook, the percentage score for the assignment is the upper limit of the range assigned to that letter grade in the grading scheme. For example, your course grading scheme may designate a range of 86% to 89% for a B+ letter grade. Entering a B+ for an assignment assigns a percentage of 89%. To ensure students receive a specific percentage for an assignment, enter the assignment score as a percentage.

# How do I curve grades in the Gradebook?

You can use the Gradebook to curve grades for an assignment. In the academic community, curving grades is advisable if only a certain number of students can pass, or when you require a fixed distribution of grades distributed throughout the class.

To curve grades, Canvas asks for an average curve score and then adjusts the scores as a bell curve 66% around the average score. For instance, if the average score is the equivalent of a C, Canvas would distribute mostly C- and C+ scores, distributing outward down the curve to Bs and Ds, and then ultimately As and Fs. This type of scoring creates a predictable distribution, but it means that students will compete against their classmates for scoring.

To learn more about how curved grades are calculated, view the [Curving Grades in Canvas resource document](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Curving-Grades-in-Canvas/ta-p/387085).

**Note:**

<div id="bkmrk-grade-curving-cannot"><div>- Grade curving cannot be undone. Pre-curved [grade histories](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-history-of-all-grading-changes-in-the/ta-p/783) will be available, but the curving action is irreversible.
- Student grades will be impacted differently based on where they are in the distribution of scores. Perfect scores will not be affected by curving grades.
- When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, you cannot set a default grade for any assignment that has at least one student in a closed grading period.
- When Moderated Grading is enabled for an assignment, the Curve Grades option is not available before grades are released.
- Curved grading is available in the [Gradebook Individual View](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-assignments-or-students-individually-in-the/ta-p/1247).

# How do I apply a Missing Submission policy in the Gradebook?

The Missing Submission policy lets you automatically apply a grade for all missing submissions in the Gradebook. A submission is labeled missing when the assignment is an Online submission type, the due date has passed, and it has not been submitted. Only submissions with a status of Missing are affected by the Missing Submission policy. The Missing Submission policy is set per course.

The Missing Submission policy allows you to define a grade that will be granted for missing submissions as a percentage of the total points possible. The percent entered is multiplied by the total points possible on the assignment and the resulting value will be awarded to missing submissions. For example, if the Missing submission grade is set to 20% and the assignment is worth 10 points, all missing submissions for that assignment will be awarded a grade of 2 points (10 points possible x 20% = 2 points awarded). To award all missing submissions with a grade of 0, the Missing submission grade can be set to 0%.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-a-submission-is-r"><div>- If a submission is received after the due date, the Missing label will be automatically replaced by the Late label. However, any label can be manually removed in the Grade Detail Tray. Learn how to [change the status of a submission](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-status-of-a-submission-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/678).
- When a missing assignment is submitted, the new submission must be updated in the gradebook or the grade will not change.
- Setting a Missing Submission policy affects all assignments in a course, including assignments with due dates in the past. To exclude a specific assignment, mark the submission as something other than Missing in the Grade Detail Tray.
- Applying a missing submission policy does not affect previously graded missing submissions. Therefore, the Missing Submission policy should be set up when a course is created prior to creating assignments.
- The Missing Submission policy does not affect submissions in closed grading periods or submissions for concluded enrollments.
- The Missing Submission policy is not automatically applied to No Submission, On Paper, or External Tool assignments with the exception of New Quizzes quizzes. However, you can add a Missing label in the Grade Detail Tray. Learn how to [change the status of a submission](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-status-of-a-submission-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/678).
- If a Missing Submission policy is applied in a course, missing submissions for Complete/Incomplete assignments are awarded an Incomplete grade with a score of 0, regardless of the Missing submission grade value.
- Disabling a course Missing Submission policy does not revert grades that were submitted when the policy was enabled.
- The Missing Submission policy does not apply to unpublished assignments.

</div></div>**Troubleshooting Tip:** If you believe that a grade is not being applied correctly to a missing submission, check the assignment submission type and due date. The Missing Submission policy only applies to assignments using the Online submission type. If the assignment submission type is not set to Online, you can [edit the submission type](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-or-edit-details-in-an-assignment/ta-p/971). Due dates must be in the past. If the assignment due date is not in the past, you can [edit the due date](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-or-edit-details-in-an-assignment/ta-p/971).

# How do I apply a Late Submission policy in the Gradebook?

The Late Submission policy allows you to automatically deduct points on all late submissions. A submission is labeled late when it has been submitted past the due date. Only assignments with a status of Late will be affected by the Late Submission policy. The late policy will be applied to a submission when it is graded.

Late Submission policies only apply to the course in which they are configured. Late Submission policies will affect previously graded assignments, but do not affect assignments in closed grading periods or submissions for students with concluded enrollments. Disabling a Late Submission policy will not remove late penalties from previously graded assignments.

The Late Submission policy allows you to define a percentage of the total points possible on an assignment that will be deducted for late submissions. Points can be deducted per day or hour the submission is late. For example, if the Deduct field is set to 10%, the interval is selected for Day, and the assignment is worth 10 points, 1 point will be deducted per day. If a submission is 2 days late, and the student is awarded full points, their final grade on the assignment would be 8 points (2 days late x 1 point deduction per day = 2 point Late Penalty).

To calculate a late penalty, Canvas rounds up the day or hour to the next whole number. For example, you may set a 10% per day late submission policy. If a student submits a 10-point assignment 1.3 days late, the late penalty will round 1.3 days up to 2 days. The student's score will reflect a 20% (2 point) late submission deduction.

Additionally, you can define the lowest possible grade threshold for a late policy. The lowest possible grade percentage is the lowest score a student can receive when late policy deductions are applied to grades entered above that percentage. Any grade awarded equal to or below that percentage will not receive late policy deductions.

For example, if the Late Submission policy is set to deduct 10% per day for late submissions, and a student submits 8 days late to an assignment worth 10 points, the student's grade would be 2 points if they were awarded full credit on the assignment (8 days late x 1 point deducted per day = 8 point Late Penalty). However, if the Lowest grade possible is set to 60%, the student's grade will be adjusted to 6 points. Any grades awarded that are less than or equal to 6 will not have late policies applied.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-setting-a-late-submi"><div>- Setting a Late Submission policy affects all assignments in a course, including assignments with due dates in the past. To exclude a specific assignment, mark the submission as something other than Late in the Grade Detail Tray.
- For the calculation of the Late Penalty, days late will be rounded up to the next whole number. For example, if a student submits 1.3 days late, the Late Penalty will treat the student as 2 days late. This behavior also applies for hour durations.
- Applying a deduction to late submissions will automatically affect any previously graded submissions. Therefore, the Late Submission policy should be set up when a course is created prior to creating assignments.
- The Late Submission policy will not affect submissions in closed grading periods or submissions for concluded enrollments.
- The Late Submission policy will not be automatically applied to No Submission or On Paper assignments. However, you can [change the status of a submission in the Gradebook ](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-status-of-a-submission-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/678)and add a Late label to the submission in the Grade Detail tray.
- The Late Submission policy will not affect submissions for Complete/Incomplete assignments.
- The Late Submission policy may not work correctly when applied to a quiz created using the Classic Quizzes tool and when also using a Missing Submission policy. To ensure the late deduction is properly calculated for these quizzes, you must set an Until date and time that occurs after the Due date. If you do not set an Until date for the quiz, you can set the quiz fudge points to 0 in SpeedGrader when grading the quiz.
- When taking a multiple-attempt quiz, a student who makes a new attempt after the due date has passed will receive deductions on all attempts, including attempts made before the due date.
- The Late Submission Policy is not supported when using multiple attempts in New Quizzes.

# How do I override a student's final grade in the Gradebook?

The Final Grade Override allows you to enter a final grade for students that is different from the grade automatically calculated by Canvas in the Gradebook. You can enter a letter grade or a percentage. A letter grade results in the lower bound of the grading scheme. A percentage is retained as the override score.

An override can be applied to final grades in grading periods, but the overridden grades from the grading period will not affect the student's total final course grade.

Students can view the overridden grade in their Grades page. However, students will not know the score has been overridden.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-final-grade-override"><div>- Final Grade Override is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable the final grade override feature option, learn how to [manage course features](https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13029-4152156575).
- When a grader, such as an instructor or TA, enables the Final Grade Override option, the Override column displays for all graders in the course. Likewise, the Override column will be hidden if disabled by another grader in the course.
- The override column is included in Gradebook exports and can be changed with a Gradebook import.
- If your SIS accepts final grades through grade passback, any entered override grades are included in SIS syncs in place of the calculated final grade.
- After the final grade override feature option has been enabled in a course, both the Gradebook and Final Grade Override options cannot be disabled.
- Your Canvas admin may need to configure SIS sync settings for final grade overrides to correctly sync to your SIS.
- When a final grade override is entered as a letter grade, the percentage score for the assignment is the lower limit of the range assigned to that letter grade in the grading scheme. For example, your course grading scheme may designate a range of 86% to 89% for a B+ letter grade. Entering a B+ for a final grade override assigns a percentage of 86%. To ensure students receive a specific percentage for their final grade, enter the grade override as a percentage.

# How do I import grades in the Gradebook?

You can use a CSV file to upload changes to the Gradebook. You can upload information for existing assignments, or you can also use a CSV file to create new assignments in the Gradebook. New assignments will automatically be published in your course. If you do not know how to save a file in a CSV format, please check the documentation for the program you are using to create your Gradebook changes (e.g., Excel).

If you create a column for a new assignment, Canvas will ask how you want to import the assignment. New assignments upload with the following settings:

<div id="bkmrk-assignment-group%3A-as"><div><div>- Assignment Group: Assignments
- Submission Type: No submission
- Due date for: Everyone

</div></div></div> **Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-gradebook-csv-fi"><div>- The Gradebook CSV file downloads complete/incomplete assignments as full or no credit (e.g. for a 10-point assignment, 10 or 0). Scores with full or partial credit upload as a complete assignment; scores with zero upload as an incomplete assignment.
- CSV file uploads can create assignments and update grades; they cannot update any other area of the Gradebook, such as assignment status, comments, or grade posting policies.
- Letter Grade and GPA Scale assignments do not support any entries that are not part of the assignment's grading scheme.
- All changes made to non-read-only columns are included in the upload. However, read-only columns are automatically ignored in the upload.
- When multiple grading periods is enabled, CSV file uploads cannot create new assignments. Currently new assignments must be created in the Canvas interface. Additionally, CSV files are verified against grading period close dates; grades cannot be changed for any assignment in a closed grading period.
- An upload will not recognize assignments names containing the text Current Score, Current Points, Current Grade, Final Score, Final Points, Final Grade, Override Score, Override Grade, Override Status.
- To upload changes to the Gradebook with student or assignment names containing special characters, please ensure the file is saved as a UTF-8 CSV.
- CSV file uploads ignore reserved column names as well as hidden and deleted custom columns. Reserved column names include Student, ID, SIS User ID, SIS Login ID, Section, Integration ID, and Root Account.
- Grade changes to Classic Quiz submissions may display as fudge points in SpeedGrader.

# How do I publish final grades for a moderated assignment?

A moderated assignment supports up to two provisional grades and one moderator grade. However, provisional grades are not included in the Gradebook and are only visible to moderators. Students cannot view any comments or grades until the grade is posted. You can either select grades directly in the Moderate page or you can select grades when reviewing the moderated assignment submission and comments.

**Note:** Once a grade is published, the grade in the Moderate page cannot be changed; all content is considered read-only for historical reference. However, grades can still be changed in the Gradebook.

# How do I view the history of all grading changes in the Gradebook?

You can view the history of all Gradebook changes in your course using the Gradebook History page. Gradebook History is a read-only log that allows you to see who graded each artifact. Options are available to filter grading history by student, grader, artifact, and date.

For quizzes, you can view historical data for any regraded quizzes.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-gradebook-history-di"><div>- Gradebook history displays changes made within the last 365 days.
- Gradebook history will reflect any grade changes made to assignments with a manual posting policy, even if grades are not yet visible to students.
- If you have enabled the Final Grade Override feature option, you can filter by the Final Grade Overrides Only option.

**Note:** If you are grading in a course where you can only interact with users in your same section, the Gradebook history page will only display results for users within your same section.

# How do I view a student's Grades page in a course from the Gradebook?

As an instructor, you can access the Grades page for a student in your course. This Grades page shows you how a student views his or her grades in the course and also allows you to add individual comments to group submission assignments. You can choose to restrict options in the grades page to students, such as [hiding grade summary totals](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-totals-in-my-students-grade-summaries/ta-p/671) and [hiding grade distribution graphs](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-hide-grade-distribution-scoring-details-from-students/ta-p/674).

You can also view the grades page for a generic student in Student View.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-the-student%27s-grades"><div>- The student's grades shown in the Grades page may vary from the grades shown in the Gradebook. The student's Grades page is affected by hidden assignments, outstanding manually graded quiz questions, weighted assignment groups, and weighted grading periods. The Gradebook always contains the most current and accurate information about a student's current grade.
- Student Grades can also be viewed from a student's user details page.

However, the assignment details page allows you to leave individual comments for the student in group assignments where all members get the same grade. To reply to the student (and not all group members), do not select the **Send Comment to the Whole Group** checkbox.

Individual comments also appear in the Submission Comments filter in Conversations.

# How do I export grades in the Gradebook?

You can export scores from the Gradebook and download them to your computer as a CSV file. The Gradebook CSV assignment columns display in the same order as shown in the Gradebook for an individual user.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-some-columns-that-ap"><div>- Some columns that appear in the CSV file are read-only columns calculated by rules or percentages set in Canvas. Any changes made to these columns will be ignored when you re-upload the file to your course.
- When a grading period filter is applied in the Gradebook, the export displays the filtered grading period results. However, assignment group total columns will display across all grading periods.
- For assignment group columns, changes made to assignment scores will automatically be included in the assignment group calculation in the Gradebook.
- The Total column in the Gradebook displays a running total of all graded assignments in the course, including assignments with hidden grades. The CSV download includes read-only columns for current and final scores. Current score reflects the total while ignoring unsubmitted assignments, and the final score counts unsubmitted assignments as zero. Assignments with hidden scores are unposted grades and shown in separate columns for unposted current score and unposted final score, respectively.
- If a student has submitted an assignment multiple times, the CSV file only accounts for the most recent submission.
- Concluded and inactive enrollments are not included in the CSV file unless their respective option, [Show Concluded Enrollments or Show Inactive Enrollments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-grades-for-inactive-or-concluded-student/ta-p/753), is enabled in the Gradebook Settings menu.
- Complete/incomplete assignments are shown as full or no credit (e.g. for a 10-point assignment, 10 or 0).
- If you have the Final Grade Override option enabled in your course, the Gradebook export will include the override grade. Changes to the Final Grade Override display in the import confirmation page.
- Gradebook export files automatically save to your user files in an *Unfiled* folder.
- If you have set manual grade posting policies for specific assignments, those assignments will display the posting policy in the CSV file. However, the grade posting policy cannot be modified via the CSV file.

# How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook to view outcome results in a course from the Gradebook?

The Learning Mastery Gradebook helps instructors and admins assess the outcome standards being used in Canvas courses. This gradebook helps institutions measure student learning for accreditation and better assess the needs of their students.

The default view in the Learning Mastery Gradebook is to view all students at the same time, but you can also view students individually using [Learning Mastery Gradebook Individual View](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-outcomes-or-student-results-individually-in-the/ta-p/758).

**Note:** The Learning Mastery Gradebook is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable this gradebook, visit the Feature Options tab in Course Settings.

The first number indicates the score the student earned. The second number indicates the mastery threshold, which is the minimum the students need to achieve mastery for the outcome. For instance, if a student earns a score of 5/3, the student has earned 2 points above the base mastery threshold of 3 points \[1\]. If a student achieves a score of 2/3, the student has not achieved enough points to reach the mastery threshold \[2\].

Score levels are calculated based on half of the outcome mastery threshold. For example, if the mastery threshold is 3 points, half of 3 is 1.5. Scores between 1.6 and 2.9 are counted near mastery, while scores less than 1.5 are considered remedial. Therefore, a student score of 2/3 would be above 1.5 and count as near mastery.

The course average is calculated by adding all the earned scores then dividing the total of the mastery scores. The course mode is calculated by finding the score that occurs most often. The course median is calculated by sorting the scores in ascending order, then finding the middle score. These course statistics also display color-coded level results based on the outcome results.

**Note:** If an outcome is aligned to multiple items, the gradebook statistics will always generate from the student’s highest outcome score within that course.

# How do I view outcomes or student results individually in the Learning Mastery Gradebook from the Gradebook?

The Learning Mastery Gradebook Individual View allows instructors to assess one student and one outcome at a time. Fully accessible to screen readers, this Gradebook view allows instructors to sort by section and outcome and contains all the same settings that are available in the [Learning Mastery Gradebook Default View](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Learning-Mastery-Gradebook-to-view-outcome/ta-p/774) (the view that shows all students in a course).

If you are not familiar with the settings and other options in the Learning Mastery Gradebook, click the feature links throughout this lesson to learn more about how the feature works in Default View.

Like all Gradebook tabs, Individual View is persistent. Therefore, once you switch the Gradebook to Individual View, the Gradebook will always display in Individual View until it is switched back to Default View.

# How do I apply Submission Stickers in Gradebook?

The Submission Stickers feature option allows instructors to add stickers to individual and group assignment submissions per attempt, offering an engaging way to provide feedback.

Once enabled at the account or course level, instructors can apply stickers through the Traditional Gradebook tray, Individual Gradebook, and [SpeedGrader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-apply-Submission-Stickers-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/631362).

Stickers are also supported for anonymous assignments, ensuring privacy. For moderated assignments, stickers can be added once they are published. Stickers follow post policies, meaning grades must be posted for students to view them.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-submission-stickers-"><div>- Submission Stickers only work in courses that have also enabled the Assignment Enhancements feature option.

<div data-step-uuid="ea08cde8-8377-43a9-a11a-1d0b09355917" id="bkmrk--2"><div data-step-uuid="ea08cde8-8377-43a9-a11a-1d0b09355917"><div>![Edit Quiz Details](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/007/387/041/original/931aec2f-8a37-4489-8733-5a219ae263db.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>In the **Assignment Name** field \[1\], enter the name of your quiz. To enter quiz details, enter the total points possible \[2\], select the assignment group \[3\], and choose how the grade is displayed to students \[4\].

To remove this quiz from final grade calculations, click the **Do not count this assignment towards the final grade** checkbox \[5\].

The points possible set on the assignment details page is the total points possible for the quiz. Points set per question determine points earned for correct answers. Points earned for correct answers are totaled and divided by the sum of the total question points for the quiz. That percentage is then used to calculate the final score based on the total points set on the assignment details page. For example, if you set the total points on the assignment details page to 50 and create an quiz with 10 questions each worth 1 point, the quiz has a total of 10 points but is worth 50 points when graded. If a student answers 9 questions correctly, their quiz score is 90% (9/10). However, their final score in the Gradebook will be 45/50 (90%).

If your quiz is worth zero points, you can choose to not display the quiz in the Gradebook or student Grades page \[6\].

# How do I create an anonymously graded quiz using New Quizzes?

When creating a New Quiz, you can choose to set up an quiz with anonymous grading. Selecting the anonymous grading option hides student names from graders when they view assignment submissions in SpeedGrader.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-anonymous-grading-is"><div>- Anonymous Grading is currently a course feature option. To enable this feature, learn how to manage feature options in the [course features lesson](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-feature-options-for-a-course/ta-p/710). If the Anonymous Grading option is not available for your course, your institution admin has not enabled the Anonymous Grading [account feature option](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Feature-Option-Summary/ta-p/531316).
- You or an admin can enable or disable the anonymous grading option at any time. Any edits made to the assignment will be tracked, and auditing tools will be added to help with accountability in a future release.
- Posting grades for an anonymous New Quizzes will remove anonymity from the quiz.

# How do I duplicate a New Quizzes quiz?

You can duplicate a New Quizzes quiz in your course. When a quiz is duplicated, the word Copy is added to the end of the quiz name.

Duplicating a quiz defaults the copied quiz to an unpublished status. All items in the quiz are duplicated including the name, description, instructions, questions and answers, point values, and quiz settings, except for the following situations:

<div id="bkmrk-copied-quizzes-are-a"><div><div>- Copied quizzes are always assigned to everyone in the course; differentiated quizzes are not retained for individual users, groups, or sections.
- If a differentiated quiz includes an Everyone Else date, the copied quiz retains the Everyone Else due date, if any.
- If a differentiated quiz does not include an Everyone Else date, the copied quiz does not include a due date.

</div></div></div>**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-quizzes-created-usin"><div>- Quizzes created using Classic Quizzes cannot be duplicated.
- Except for New Quizzes quizzes, assignments configured as an external tool submission type cannot be duplicated.

# How do I migrate a Canvas quiz to New Quizzes?

If allowed by your institution, you can migrate an individual quiz from Classic Quizzes to be used in [New Quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1173) from the Quizzes Index Page. Alternatively, you can [bulk migrate multiple quizzes via course copy](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012), [IMSCC or QTI file course imports](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-a-Canvas-course-export-package/ta-p/795) or [API](https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/content_migrations.html#method.content_migrations.create).

New Quizzes does not include a survey feature. Therefore, surveys migrated from Classic Quizzes come over as standard quizzes in New Quizzes.

If your institution enables the New Quizzes migration during course import/copy feature option, question banks linked via a question group in Classic Quizzes will migrate to New Quizzes. If the quiz migration feature is not enabled by your institution, questions from question banks must be individually added before migrating to New Quizzes.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-after-migration-to-n"><div>- After migration to New Quizzes, Multiple Dropdown questions display as Fill in the Blank questions.
- Text No Question questions migrate to New Quizzes as Stimulus questions. An instructor must add a question in order for it to display in a quiz.
- Question groups with manually created questions migrate as item banks in New Quizzes.
- If a quiz is migrated multiple times, Canvas uses smart merging to decipher the question bank content that should be retained. This process helps ensure all content is retained, such as in cases where multiple users may be making edits to a quiz at the same time.
- Practice quizzes from Classic Quizzes can be migrated to New Quizzes. Once migrated, by default, the practice quizzes are displayed as zero points possible and are hidden from the Gradebook and Grades page.

# How do I import a quiz from a QTI package in New Quizzes?

You can import quizzes from QTI packages in New Quizzes. You can only use QTI packages to create a new quiz. You cannot modify an existing quiz using a QTI import.

If your institution has enabled the New Quizzes Migration During Course [Import/Copy feature option](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012), you can also [convert quizzes in QTI packages to the New Quizzes format](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-quizzes-from-QTI-packages/ta-p/1046) when using the Course Import Tool.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-question-groups-link"><div>- Question groups linked to question banks are not included in QTI imports.
- New Quizzes only supports imports from QTI 1.2 and 2.x versions. However, some QTI 1.2 and 2.x 3rd party packages include software-specific item types which may not be supported.
- When creating a quiz from a QTI import, the new quiz is given the same title as the imported QTI file.
- You can [export a New Quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-export-a-New-Quiz-from-a-course/ta-p/580322) in your course.

# How do I create a Fill in the Blank question in New Quizzes?

When [creating a quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1173), you can create a Fill in the Blank question in New Quizzes. Fill in the Blank questions can have multiple blank spaces and include various answer types.

Each blank space is given a point value calculated by dividing the total points possible by the number of blank spaces. Correct answer choices are awarded this point value and no points are subtracted for incorrect answers. For example, a Fill in the Blank question with four blanks that is worth 1 point would assign a point value of 0.25 to each blank. If a student selects two correct answers and two incorrect answers, they would be awarded a total of 0.50 points for the question.

You can also [duplicate Fill in the Blank questions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-an-individual-question-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/404516) to create a new question.

However, student answers must match the specified spelling and case. For example, if the blank is "panda", an answer of "It's a panda" will be marked correct, while an answer of "Panda" will be marked incorrect.
- **Close Enough** \[2\]: Uses Levenshtein Distance to determine if the response is close enough to the correct answer. [Levenshtein Distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance) is the number of single-character edits needed to change one word to another. You can choose to ignore case.
- **Exact Match** \[3\]: Requires case and spelling to match exactly.
- **Specify Correct Answers** \[4\]: Allows for multiple correct answers to be specified. For example, if the response is "panda" and the correct answers specified are "panda" and "Panda", an answer of "panda" or "Panda" will be marked correct, while an answer of "PANDA" will be marked incorrect.
- **Regular Expression Match** \[5\]: Requires using specialized text strings that describe search patterns. The following step includes a few examples of basic concepts used in regular expressions. Regular expressions are not recommended for beginners and cannot be explained in full in this guide. To begin learning more about regular expressions, [read the Regular Expression Wikipedia entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression).

</div></div><div data-step-uuid="3b09d740-e470-4aec-94e6-d5135983f313"></div></div></div></div>#### Regular Expression Match Examples

You can use the question mark (?) to indicate zero or one occurrences of the preceding element, the asterisk (\*) to indicate zero or more occurrences of the preceding element, and the plus sign (+) to indicate one or more occurrences of the preceding element. For example, colou?r matches both "color" and "colour"; "ab\*c" matches "ac", "abc", "abbc", etc.; "ab+c" matches "abc", "abbc", "abbbc", etc.

You can use a vertical bar (|) to separate alternatives, such as "gray|grey".

You can use parentheses ("()") to define the scope and precedence of the operators. For example, gr(a|e)y matches "gray" and "grey".

# How do I create a Matching question in New Quizzes?

When [creating a quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1173), you can create a Matching question in New Quizzes. In a Matching question, students are required to match answers from a drop-down menu with a list of questions.

You can choose to award partial credit or require an exact match for Matching questions. The partial credit option awards points for each correct answer selected. Exact match awards full credit only if all correct answers are selected and no incorrect answers are selected.

You can also [duplicate Matching questions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-an-individual-question-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/404516) to create a new question.

# How do I create a Multiple Answer question in New Quizzes?

When [creating a quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1173), you can create a Multiple Answer question in New Quizzes. Multiple Answer questions are formatted like [Multiple Choice questions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-Multiple-Choice-question-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/984), but there are multiple correct answers.

You can choose to award partial credit with penalty or require an exact match for Multiple Answer questions. The partial credit with penalty option awards points for each correct answer selected and deducts points for each incorrect answer selected. Exact match awards full credit only if all correct answers are selected and no incorrect answers are selected.

Partial credit is calculated by dividing the total points possible by the number of correct answers for the question. This amount is awarded for each correct answer selected and deducted for each incorrect answer selected. No points are awarded or deducted for answers that are not selected. Zero is the lowest possible score. For example, if a question is worth 4 points and there are 2 correct answers, Canvas divides 4 by 2 and awards 2 points for correct answers selected and deducts 2 points for incorrect answers. If a student selects 2 correct answers and 1 incorrect answer, the student will receive 2 points total (4 points awarded for correct answers and 2 points deducted for incorrect answers).

You can also [duplicate Multiple Answer questions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-an-individual-question-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/404516) to create a new question.

# How do I add accommodations for a student in New Quizzes?

You can add accommodations for a student in New Quizzes. Accommodation settings include adding or removing time for all quiz attempts and multiplying time limits by a set multiplier.

Accommodations apply to all quizzes in a course for a student and only one accommodation can be set per student. Set accommodations can be viewed in the Accommodations column and in the Moderate panel.

To manage timer settings for a single attempt, you can [moderate a student's quiz attempt](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-moderate-a-student-s-quiz-attempt-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/655). Moderating a quiz attempt will apply any moderation settings on top of any set accommodations.

**Note:** Quiz availability dates still apply when moderating a quiz. If the Until date passes before a student completes an extra attempt or extended-time quiz, any in-progress quizzes auto-submit and the quiz closes, even if the student's attempt has not expired.

# How do I moderate a student's quiz attempt in New Quizzes?

You can moderate quiz settings for individual students in New Quizzes. Moderation settings apply only to the quiz you are moderating and include reopening quiz attempts and managing timer settings.

Reopening a student's quiz reopens a student's most recent attempt. Previously recorded responses are retained and the quiz timer resumes from its remaining time from the previous submission.

Moderation timer settings apply to all attempts for the quiz in which they are set. You can add a specific amount of minutes or hours to each attempt, or remove time limit requirements. Only one timer setting can be selected for each student. To adjust timer settings for all quizzes in the course for a student, you can [add accommodations](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-accommodations-for-a-student-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1092).

If timer settings are set at both the course level and the quiz level, course-level settings are applied first. Quiz-level settings cannot be reduced by course-level settings.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-quiz-availability-da"><div>- Quiz availability dates still apply when moderating a quiz. If the Until date passes before a student completes an extra attempt or extended-time quiz, any in-progress quizzes auto-submit and the quiz closes, even if the student's attempt has not expired.
- Currently, bulk moderation is not supported in New Quizzes.
- If [anonymous grading ](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-anonymously-graded-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/587640)is enabled, you do not see students' names while grading.

# How do I create an Ordering question in New Quizzes?

When [creating a quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1173), you can create an Ordering question in New Quizzes. In an Ordering question, students are required to place answers in a specific order. You can add top and bottom labels to the list to help students know in which order they should place their responses.

When Ordering questions are graded, students must order all items correctly to earn full points. There is not an option to assign partial credit for Ordering questions.

You can also [duplicate Ordering questions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-an-individual-question-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/404516) to create a new question.

# How do I add feedback to a question in New Quizzes?

You can add feedback to any question created with New Quizzes. Students can view your feedback when they view their results after submitting a quiz. In addition to general feedback, students will see all feedback comments relevant to their answer choices.

You can also add feedback to any answer choice when [creating a Multiple Choice question](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-Multiple-Choice-question-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/984).

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-because-essay-and-fi"><div>- Because Essay and File Upload question types require manual grading, any feedback responses added to these question types only display after the quiz is graded and scores are posted.
- You can also add feedback to any answer choice when creating a Multiple Choice question or [customize feedback to display upon quiz completion](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-settings-for-a-quiz-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/581).

# How do I grade a quiz in New Quizzes?

You can grade New Quizzes quizzes using SpeedGrader. Most quiz items are graded automatically after a student submits the quiz. However, essay and file upload questions must be graded manually.

This lesson describes how to access SpeedGrader from the Gradebook.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-the-quiz-does-not"><div>- If the quiz does not display in the Gradebook and is worth zero points, the [quiz's assignment details](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-edit-the-assignment-details-of-a-New-Quizzes-quiz/ta-p/582) may be set to exclude the quiz from the Gradebook.
- You cannot grade New Quizzes quizzes in concluded courses.
- New Quizzes grades for students with concluded enrollments are not sent to the Canvas Gradebook.
- If you are using New Quizzes, learn [how to grade one quiz question at a time](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-grade-a-New-Quizzes-quiz-question-one-at-a-time-in/ta-p/566788).
- If [anonymous grading](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-anonymously-graded-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/587640) is enabled, you do not see students' names while grading.

# How do I regrade a quiz question in New Quizzes?

You can regrade a question for a quiz in New Quizzes using SpeedGrader. Regrading allows you to change the correct answer or point value for a question. The point value can also be changed for individual answers for questions with varied point values.

Regrading only applies to completed submissions. If all students will be affected by the regrade, please wait for all submissions before regrading.

Regrading is not available for Essay or File Upload questions. For Categorization questions, you can only change point values; you cannot change correct answers for this question type.

# How do I import questions from a QTI package into an item bank in New Quizzes?

You can import questions from a QTI package into an item bank. This lesson describes how to add a QTI package to an item bank by creating a new item bank. You can also add a QTI package to an empty item bank that has already been created.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-new-quizzes-only-sup"><div>- New Quizzes only supports imports from QTI 1.2 and 2.x versions. However, some QTI 1.2 and 2.x 3rd party packages include software-specific item types which may not be supported.
- You can only import questions if you access item banks from the Manage Item Banks page in the Options menu. If you click the Item Banks button, you will not be able to import questions.
- When creating an item bank from a QTI import, the new item bank is given the same title as the imported QTI file.

# How do I edit an item bank item in New Quizzes?

You can edit item bank items in New Quizzes. Edits will display in any quiz that uses the item. If students have submitted answers for an item, you can only edit a copy of the item. Editing a copy creates separate statistical data from the previous version of the item.

When editing an item, you can also add tags to the item. Tags can be used to search for items within item banks. Added tags display on the item in the bank and in any quiz that uses the item.

# How do I add all items or a random set from an item bank to a quiz in New Quizzes?

You can add multiple items to a quiz from an item bank in New Quizzes. These questions display in random order. Depending on the number of items you include from your item bank, students may view different questions when taking their quiz.

This lesson shows how to add an item from an item bank using the Item Banks button from the Build page. You can also access your item banks when [adding content to a quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1173).

You can also add [individual items from an item bank](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-item-from-an-item-bank-to-a-quiz-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/589).

**Note:** When you add stimulus content to an item bank, questions attached to the stimulus content are not automatically added and must be added to the item bank manually. Likewise, when you add stimulus content to a quiz from an item bank, attached questions are not automatically added.

# How do I move or copy a question from one item bank to another in New Quizzes?

You can move a question from one item bank to another in New Quizzes. You can move questions to item banks that you have created or item banks that have been shared with you. Moving or copying a question to an item bank shared with you adds the question to the original item bank, so anyone shared on that bank will see the question.

When a question is moved to another item bank, the question will retain its tags. When a question is copied to another bank, the tags from the original question are not copied to the new question.
